I have done material design somewhat badly. I would mean a design directly from Google not someone’s reinterpretation of it. You can use it to justify your slop

I have done material design somewhat badly. I would mean a design directly from Google not someone’s reinterpretation of it. You can use it to justify your sloppyness but you could do the same thing in HyperCard.
- TeMPOraL 9y agoI'd say Google is widely recognized for "taking poor use of screen real-estate to an art form" with their designs; though Material design is probably just a symptom here, the cause being the ongoing desire to dumb down applications and remove functionality.
- pjmlp 9y agoActually a typical rant on Android development forums is how Google doesn't follow their own Material designs.
- TeMPOraL 9y agoMaybe. Still, I go to material.io and I don't see anything there that would make those things better. I wish there was a UI philosophy that would take Tufte's ideas as a set of core principles: maximizing data-ink ratio, minimizing junk, increasing data density.

- TeMPOraL 9y agoA nice .io domain and endorsement by a hot tech company, I guess.
