You're not taking into the account the context in which Hypercard existed, that is, a time where UI design was in its infancy.

Maybe they should crack down on how awful the UI has become.

Embarrassing reading. I find it hard to believe there's a "science" to menu design that has its own "experts" who don't mention a thing about typography or graphic design. The Z pattern is simply related to the

I agree, but there's levels to it though. A redesign almost never means learning new visual languages, whatever that means. Low-level elements like hyperlinks will always be presented as underlined text, buttons as boxes with centered

Even judging by that first screenshot, you can see that white text with very smooth shadow on a semi-transparent menubar is not at all pleasant or readable. For all the talk about "human interface" you'd think they would at l

The amount of padding throughout the whole UI is worrying. For years I've used macOS on high contrast mode and invert colors for dark mode — very curious of how that will look.

Design isn't about drawing pictograms, so nice strawman. The type of design thinking implied in the comment is more about knowing –or at least have the faintest idea about what a visually cohesive system is and could look like. There&#

Writing actual CSS is the waste of time. SASS variables, mixins, and the "&" operator are pretty much indespensable.

>This also means no opposing views to pop that bubble. But then you have the backfire effect. It'd be naive to assume everyone else is or can be as rational as yourself.

I've always wondered how the word postmortem found its way into tech. Are we calling code reviews autopsies now?

Not even Microsoft brags about their 30 years of bloated software, and their idea of mending their past mistakes is xkcd.com/927 every time. Microsoft maintains archaic software because it still means profit for them, not because of th

That's just Microsoft's business model though, it works great for businesses like in your scenario, but not too well when they spend a decade trying to abolish a crippled browser. No one comes close because no one is trying. Also,

I like the idea but I think it's applied in the wrong end of the stack. Learning that z-index requires a defined position value is just part of learning CSS, however frustrating that may be. The answer to the question “How do I make a

This wouldn't be much of a problem if developers weren't as reliant on frameworks as JS developers are — who for some reason love to blame others for "reinventing the wheel". What do people even use lodash for? Do you re

They actually managed to make context menus even _less_ native with this release. All of a sudden context menus have straight corners and higher contrast. In a few months it will actually be legal for this bug to buy booze and do jelly shot

Yet another useless and entitled comment. A tool that is very clearly meant for personal use, and is even advertised as such, did not happen to be a well documented library easy for everyone else to use. What a surprise. To me this repo sho
