MORE ASSORTED NOTES ON LIQUID GLASS
Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter
Apple's new "Liquid Glass" design language has sparked confusion and criticism, with many finding it visually inconsistent, functionally unclear, and overly prescriptive, prioritizing aesthetic gimmicks like translucency and rounded elements over usability and clarity. Apple's increasingly homogenized and restrictive design system sacrifices individuality, legibility, and developer freedom in favor of a bland, corporate uniformity that diminishes both app identity and user experience.
