One convention we lost was that text fields have sunken white background and other areas of the UI are generally grey. UI now uses bright white in most places, eventually causing the world to invent dark mode. It's really gone backwar

Right now, the web experience for 2FA is very poor compared to using a mobile app. I wish I could just put my phone on an NFC reader when a site requires 2FA, and then all I have to do is to confirm on the phone itself.

MSN Messenger played a similar cat-and-mouse game with AOL Instant Messenger long time ago. Unlike MSN Messenger which used this publicity to grow their own market share, I am not sure what's the end game for Beeper.

It's gotten worse since the introduction of smartphones. Instead of a button being hit changing into a pressed state instantly, they added animation that looks nice, but they end up making UI feels laggy and unresponsive.
