I hope so, I thought that the original intent of it was anchored in a functional way of designing UIs. Now it seems to have been taken to absurd levels where important controls are hidden behind modals, dropdown, hover states, popovers etc. instead of just being visible and available when you want to use them. I really don't understand this but have given up pushing back on it.
- api 5y agoEvery good idea gets unmoored from its original purpose and driven to absurdity. Look at agile, lean startup, etc.
- fmajid 5y agoI think hiding controls is driven by the limitations of phone screens, and mobile-first thinking leads to substandard desktop or tablet experiences.
