Interesting Baader-Meinhof phenomenon here: I went down a Wikipedia rabbit hole just yesterday of aviation accidents involving depressurization and subsequent incapacitation of (virtually) everyone on board. In each of the three cases I rea

Even now, I'm still fond of the Pivot control. Alas, side-scrolling for navigation seems to be a foregone paradigm; all that's left are horizontal lists. Maybe navbars and hamburgers positioned on the farthest edge of the screen
