I love doing jail support because it feels like an efficient and powerful use of my care. All I have do is get some supplies, coordinate with a friend to meet downtown, and show up ready to be kind. Suddenly I’m making a massive impact on people’s lives at a critical moment, completely autonomously.

It’s crazy that Alan Dye had no experience with UI before being thrust into a position of power over platform design, affecting millions of apps. He has a responsibility to the industry. Platform design should be way more comprehensive and far less restrictive than this. 🔗 lmnt.me/blog/a-respo...

The amount of plastic I see is starting to upset me. I don’t... know what I can possibly do about it, because I don’t think it’s really my fault. But consumers end up getting the short end of this instead of the companies that produce the plastic ?? 🔗 lmnt.me/blog/plastic...

I don’t wanna act like this is a big honkin’ deal because there’s like 50 mini-problems I have with Tahoe app icons— But do they really want different blues for Finder and Mail / Safari? And if so, could they perhaps choose more different blues, because these are too close.

Today, I wrote for 12 hours in what could have been 12 separate blog posts. But instead, it’s one comprehensive post that covers what I think about Apple design right now. It’s long. And there’s audio. Rose-Gold-Tinted Liquid Glasses 🔗 lmnt.me/blog/rose-go...

I think blurring and dimming are not sufficient substitutes for real-world eye focus. Maybe that’s why the whole concept consistently struggles in 2D.

Beta or not, when Apple shows before and afters on their own website, it’s totally fair to knock on them for legibility. I have to wonder: Who at Apple really thinks this example is the best representation? And whoever knows it isn’t the best, why isn’t it addressed *before* the reveal?

Now that macOS Tahoe lets you choose an SF Symbol to stamp on the front of a folder— how is that they didn’t take this opportunity for the Finder sidebar to show that SF Symbol if you pin that folder?? (???) It seems pretty obvious to me.

I’m not crazy, right? Currently if you drag a .icon file made with Icon Composer onto a folder or app to change the icon, it just shows the ICON FILETYPE instead of the actual icon artwork? Brilliant work, guys.

Hm— Dropbox “unexpectedly quits” on macOS Tahoe. I haven’t seen anyone talk about it crashing on launch.

I would argue—though I might not entertain it further than this post—that Liquid Glass is not that big of a design shift as iOS 7 was.

It’s astounding how many long-time app icon designers I’ve been commiserating with today. Absolutely nuts how poorly-received all this is in this circle. I know we’ll all make do, but oof. A big oof.
