HAS YOUR PRODUCT OUTGROWN ITS FLOOR PLAN?

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Visual inconsistency gets the attention, but spatial incoherence is often worse, as products expand past the simple floor plan they launched with. Slack's pile of added features and Substack's inconsistent reader and publisher navigation show the problem, while YouTube's clearly scoped menus make shifts easy to map. Overlays that misrepresented an action's scope were one reason Shopify deprecated its Polaris Sheet component, forcing a rethink of the admin's floor plan.
