In 2000s "Neumorphism" would have been a name of one WinAmp skin. In 2020 I guess a single style warranted a whole trend.

This is a good take, actually. Especially in light of how so many corporations are using that strange design language with elongated/disproportioned bodies of people (I forget the name of it). Creativity in this domain is undervalued.

Sorry for offtopicness, but could you please stop creating accounts for every few comments you post? We ban accounts that do that. I don't want to ban you, because your comments (with this account) are good. This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. You needn't use your real name, of course, but for HN to be a community, users need some identity for other users to relate to. Otherwise we may as well have no usernames and no community, and that would be a different kind of forum. https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comment&storyText=false&prefix&page=0&query=community%20identity%20by:dang https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...

  We cant ignore the consequences of linking our viewing and posting habits to an identity, either. Some people don't appreciate being profiled. Simply picking a username that is not your real name does not fully address that.

    Yes—there are tradeoffs. But HN would be a different place if it were just a collection of comments without usernames. That's not the kind of site this is, so posting here involves making some of those tradeoffs.
