YouTube is in a hurry to catch up with Apple’s design trend disaster.

“Decorations” iPad, Paper app, 2014. #Sketch

Xcode hammer is healing from the glass infection. #AppIconDesign

Fellow ADHD-ers, we have a new word coined! ‘Hypercuriosity’ www.sciencenews.org/article/adhd... Sounds way better than ‘Rabbitholism’. #ADHD

Have you noticed how cRown Rhymes perfectly with cLown? mastodon.social/@skizzenblog...

10/10 macOS UI satire:

“Robo” An old quick sketch from the Paper app.

😍😍😍

Cultured Code’s Things says “no thank you” to the Liquid Glass’ sidebar and toolbar style. 👏👏👏 culturedcode.com/things/blog/... #macOSTahoe #UIDesign

Slow long run. Fasted, but caffeinated. 18 km of easy. 6 km of tired. 3 km of pain zone. #ClearYourHead with #Running

If you intended to hold out on Tahoe update, please know that Apple is making sure that a little bit of Glass virus will reach you on Sequoia too. More like “hostile by design”. mastodon.social/@siracusa/11... #macOSTahoe

Welcome to macOS Tahoe! Please enjoy our finest window corners yet!

Actually, the quote was very fitting, you just need to re-apply the context when translating: “Bad design not just looks and feels bad. Bad design doesn’t work well.” #AppleEvent

Apple events used to be like Christmas for developers. This year you get cookies made of glass. And a jar full of bugs. Happy new Apple year! #AppleEvent

When thinking about negative space, FedEx and MSNBC were the logo examples that instantly come to mind. Seems that peacock goes into the trash can due the rebrand. Almost looks like fake news at first. #Logo #LogoDesign

This one brought back some vague childhood memories for me too. I think those were used in church for the candle vibes.

Missed this Posy video. What a gold mine for visual reference library! www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEJn...

I love slow movies. “Paterson” 2016. Similar in mood to more recent “Perfect Days”. Anything else comes to mind? www.imdb.com/title/tt5247...

Malleable software: Restoring user agency in a world of locked-down apps www.inkandswitch.com/essay/mallea...

Went for 1h tempo run, but did not hold, felt still too hot. So ended up interval-ing around. #ClearYourHead with #Running

#SciFi, but not really.

“Efficiency”. #AI

Note this note on Xcode beta 4, if you do a lot of UI: mastodon.social/@tonyarnold/... #SwiftUI

Easy long run. 22 km. 🏃 Nice clouds. ⛅️ Lots and lots of blooming in the fields. 🌸 #ClearYourHead with #Running

Is it “smart” for OpenAI to advertise the 98% correctness level of the agent work in the context of financial data processing? openai.com/index/introd... #AI

Scaffolding, #clojure, 2025.

Touching dead tree, looking for logo ideas. Actually for 2 at once. Need something for a blog mark/logo and also one for personal signature-logo. Decided to spin up the blog under separate domain. #WIP

Well, exactly… calv.info/openai-refle... #AI

When I have returned to social media my expectation was to post about SwiftUI and UI design. I looked at my recent posts: it’s 55% about AI, 44% bashing the macOS Tahoe design, and 1% SwiftUI. I guess critiquing Tahoe is still design talk. But how AI theme got a dominating position I have no idea.

DHH talks and rants about many things including the early days, the love and joy of craft, AI, “there is no retirement” point (to which I totally subscribe to). Also unloads at Apple for the recent history. :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=vagy...

Gillette are such environmentalists. I should really look into switching to old-school blades.

Round numbers we like! Slow long run. Not too much. Not too little. Bit too hot. Could have used some cloud. #ClearYourHead with #Running

On generative art, tools, materials, angles on AI and social media: www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-11... /cc:/ @jackrusher.com

We learn from history. Save this for the Saturday – a treat of Mac UI timeline spelunking:

This distribution does need a little bit of re-distribution. It does not look healthy. #Figma

Hoarding on rare earth glass materials: developer.apple.com/forums/threa...

The snark is thick, while crunching on glass. What would be the modern version of pitch forks and torches if macOS Tahoe UI design decisions do not improve until fall? 🏴‍☠️

Will this be a new Touch Bar moment? Or will fancy people really use the invisible dock? (On the Mac specifically.)

In WWDC video it was falsely promised that the walls of the Squircle Jail will be white. What a scam! www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-9t...

LLMs = “Stochastic simulations of people” This is way more accurate term than “AI”. I like it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCEm...

“… intensifying battle for AI interface supremacy“ “The platform wars heat up …“ Topic is not hot enough! We need to use more HOT-words!!! venturebeat.com/ai/anthropic...

Oh my... Patterns AND textures? ❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️

Contrast is a BIG deal. #LiquidGlass #IconDesign

Thanks to @kylebashour.com and Brad Ellis went to bed at 3AM last night :) Finally tried out the Icon Composer. Trying to recreate the interleaving-glass-shapes pattern of App Store icon. Work in progress, approximate match. There is more to dig. ADHD hyper drive, engage! #UIDesign #IconDesign

I think this may be my favorite macOS app icon of all time. Especially because I use the app. Sadly, it was abandoned by the developer, way too early, for the flat design trend. Also I did just realize that I do not know the author of this design. Anybody? #UIDesign #IconDesign
