Mind-blowing they have to be forced imho. Them and Samsung gatekeeping app minting is a bit of a jerk move. (Just my personal opinion, not my employer's)

How the App Store Helped Kill My Startup, and Why That Should Matter to You mariabettina.substack.com/p/how-the-ap... "We had to create TikToks just to teach users how to save our web app to their home screen. And even that confused people, largely because Apple designed it to be confusing."
How the App Store Helped Kill My Startup,and Why That Should Matter to You
Not being allowed into the App Store played a pivotal role in the challenges my startup, Freyja, faced, even if it wasn’t the sole reason for its struggles.

If you would like to see everything that's wrong with frontend, all in one place, you can't do better than to take webpagetest.org for a spin and trace some AI chatbots.

You also need the device posture API to do cool stuff with foldables. These two APIs work great together and can make your web sites shine and bend. 😜

don't get me wrong, I like the design, but it did spark my curiosity about how accessible these are. 🤔
diekus.bsky.social
diekus @diekus.bsky.social · Jun 9
and on this `liquid glass`, it looks cool, but I am a bit concerned about the accessibility implications of these designs?

For example, look at the contrast in the text for artist's name. Also the `clear` theme looks like it can be challenging to distinguish things. Is this form over function?

Just saw the new `Liquid Glass` design language from Apple. Interestingly, I think it is a good opportunity to remind web folks of this explainer that can bring this type of materials to web apps: github.com/MicrosoftEdg...

Thumbs up if you approve 😉

I'm not a UX designer, but I am sure macOS putting the Erase option next to the Eject one is probably not the best idea.
