"In my humble opinion, the best websites and web applications have a tangible “real” quality to them. There are lots of factors involved to achieve this quality, but shadows are a critical ingredient."

- klodolph 5y agoIt’s not totally flat. Flat where appropriate. Documents should be flat. Shadows are for things that appear on top of other things. There’s a message on the left that says, “Hi there! Can I share a cool thing I’m working on with you?” This has a shadow, because it appears on top of the document.
- philote 5y agoThe "Posts" nav item has a dropdown that overlays the document and is still completely flat.
- rtsil 5y agoThe dropdown has a shadow for me with Chrome (and also a sound effect).
