Two things: First, I myself miss the Q shortcut in Google Calendar, gone after the redesign.
Second, I know for a fact that there are plenty of Google employees here. It is funny to see the radio silence. Somewhere within Google there is an email thread generating the HR compliant reply for this thread.
- what_ever 8y agoGoogler here - I refrain from commenting on any Google related threads. I have my own pro-Google biases having seen internally on how the company works and how decisions get made here. And most of the people on HN have their own biases against Google without having that context. I don't see myself being part of any constructive discussion related to Google here so I like to not waste my time. Also, I don't want to say anything silly and get that taken out of context. On GMail - I like the update. I find it better than the earlier UI. I use it work, I use it at home and I haven't noticed any slowness myself even when I am not on the Google network.
- RichardCA 8y agoOverall I think Google did a good job here. I really like Material Design when it's done right (Android 9 was a design win as far as I'm concerned). I agree about the silence on the Calendar side. At present, Gmail has a thought-out theme function but Calendar has all the themeing stripped out. Gmail and Calendar should be consistent. I hope this is rectified at some point.
