The final Liquid Glass is super cringe. Here some of the worst moments. It is tech-broey, immature and an accessibility dumpster fire.

The lack of understanding the difference between design and decoration is incredible.

Screenshot of iOS 26 shortcut widget. The button text and icons are of poor contrast compared to the background.

Screenshot of iOS 26 Safari browser. The URL bar is way too transparent and makes it difficult to read the text and distinguish it from the background.

Screenshot of iOS 26 control center. The contrast of UI items and their icons is poor and indecisive.

Le mode Relief 3D de l'appli Cartes IGN : c'est beau, et ça enrichit vraiment la carte ! Par contre, chez moi sous Android ça rame sévère, le déplacement n'est pas fluide du tout. Mais fonctionnalité à suivre !

"Good design is intuitive" is so ingrained into the way we think and talk about the work that we often forget to ask the key question - to whom?

Any interface is "intuitive" to someone who is already familiar with the design patterns and the interaction techniques that it uses. Similarly, any interface is "unintuitive" when it introduces the user to new interaction techniques.

You can scale objects proportionally in Penpot by activating the scaling tool from the preferences menu, or pressing the K keyboard shortcut. When you've enabled the scaling tool, the cursor changes from a single two-headed arrow to a double two-headed arrow. Any object you resize will be scaled proportionately when the scaling tool is enabled.

@penpot Well, this is awkward.

At some point, while saying or writing “activating the scaling tool from the preferences menu”, you may have thought, “Hang on, why do we have a -tool- in the -Preferences- menu? None of the other tools are there.”

In reality, it’s neither a tool nor a preference. It’s a variation of resizing. You’ve implemented it as a mode which is:
• easy to enter by accident
• hard to notice (zero indication unless you happen to be hovering over a resize handle)
• easy to forget that you’re in while doing non-resizing things.

Standard design for this is a -quasimode- where you hold down one or more modifier keys while doing the resizing. (Penpot could use Alt+Shift+ for this.) A quasimode is:
• much harder to enter by accident
• impossible not to notice
• impossible to forget that you’re in.

@hamishcampbell what does it mean that forgejoe is removing a lot of web?

@serapath as far as I can see, they have removed most of the admin web #UI and replaced it with command line only, hope they put it back, or it's a #Geekproblem deadened, we do have to stop people making mess like this.

A refracting rounded rectangle shape appears see through but blurry, and distorts the image behind it. If you squint you can make out the text “App Library,” in white hovering over a light background.

This is not an exaggeration it really is hard to see the text. Imagine listening to someone whispering in a crowded train and trying to understand what they are saying. That’s iOS 26. — A refracting rounded rectangle shape appears see through but blurry, and distorts the image behind it.

That’s when I realised that the word ‘REAR’ was lit and therefore this must be a clickable button. Indeed it was.

The two icons above the control dial turned out to also be buttons you can press.

This is terrible user interface design. There was nothing on the word ‘REAR’ to indicate that it was clickable. No depression to feel, no underlining or other symbol that might indicate that you could click it.

Also, it doesn’t really depress when you press it, so it doesn’t have the feel of a control you could click.

Wonder what the folks at @atpfm would make of this?

> "Overall, designers of desktop applications seem to have abandoned the fact that a desktop computer is capable of displaying several applications and windows at the same time and that many users are accustomed to this. Instead, we're increasingly treated to small-screen, single-app paradigms copied from smartphones."

I don't want to seem like I'm nitpicking too much, but the "Hold This Call?” UI needs another pass.

The small "Hold” button is nearly touching the needlessly tiny dismiss (✕) button, which only seems about 24pt wide.

This will be error-prone for lots of people in practice. Opposite actions should not be represented by tiny, immediately neighboring touch targets.

I know it's a small thing, but it's the kind of thing that has me worried that institutional UI talent is drained or marginalized.

Completely agree. Further evidence that Tesla-style bad #UI design “principles” are making their way into other software. (Imagine this kind of design on a screen in a moving vehicle. Good luck with the hand-eye coordination, requiring taking your eyes off the road — what could go wrong?)

Also, does the latest generation of UI designers have toothpicks for fingers?

NeoComment will come with "Forest" and "Beach" themes both available on light and dark mode 🤩.
I need to show some more details for items in Explore view which is currently not available in the "trending" APIs of NeoDB, so I will have a hard time to initiate multiple requests to NeoDB instances. If I face rate limits I might be forced to show less items in the explore.

Thanks to @penpot I'm not a designer but Penpot made everything much easier for me.
