What I love most about the new @materialdesign is that almost nothing is aligned visually

1/3 ImageImageImageImage
Sometimes there are subtle variations on the alignment in the same component on the same page

2/3 ImageImageImage
Sometimes it's subtle, but you can't unsee it once you've seen it (vertical alignment of arrows, triangles, prices...)

It's a work of art, really.

@lil_htlr @kleschby Я не то, чтобы спец, у меня по этому поводу strong opinions :D

Итак.

*Концепция* веб-компонентов такова: зачем плодить еще больше все больше новых фреймворков, которые, по сути, создают одни и те же компоненты? Можно часть необходимого функционала впилить в браузер. 1/
@lil_htlr @kleschby Тогда если кто-то создаст, например, date picker или там menu, которые все нравятся, то их можно будет использовать напрямую, не подтягивая сторонние фреймворки.

То есть ты создаешь «черную коробочку» из JS и CSS, и используешь, как хочешь, не боясь, что она поломается 2/
@lil_htlr @kleschby Дополнительной концепцией было «userland сможет быстро проводить итерации над требуемыми вещами, стандартизировать их, а потом их можно будет постепенно втягивать в браузер», а так же «можно будет стандартным способом расширять встроенные компоненты типа select'ов и input'ов», 3/

A story of

- a design change for the sake of a design change
- by people who couldn't care less
- by people who clearly never use the app they change

featuring @AmazonKindle @KindleHelp

1/
Imagine, when all you have is a 27" 5K screen where you make these mockups. Who cares to look at them on an a real screen? No one.

Most changes to Kindle are done by "designers" who have never seen a world outside their infinitely zoomable mockups

2/
They removed the list view.

So, instead of easily readable book names you now have to remember what a book's cover is and/or try to decipher the name fro the grid of images.

Let's talk about the Web, UIs and layout.

I often hear: well, it's an amazing layout system. If there's anything lacking, show me anything that works under the same constraints: having to work with multiple screen sizes and adapt to them seamlessly.

Well, a thread🧵

1/
Let's start with this: the whole idea of "we have a web-site, and it can display itself differently in a desktop browser and in a mobile browser" is literally nothing but an extension of CSS Zen garden: csszengarden.com

The idea is as old as CSS itself:

2/
You have a website, and just by changing CSS you can make it look and feel completely differently. Here's CSS Zen Garden with various CSS applied.

It works as well as you'd expect: some manage to do it very well. Some manage to do it poorly. And some don't manage at all

A small unstructured mini-thread/mini-rant on GraphQL.

I’ve now completed server prototypes for roughly the same functionality in C#, Java, Go (twice), Elixir, and nodejs.

GraphQL exemplifies everything that’s wrong in the industry :D

1/
First, it’s supposed to bring together data from different sources, right?

All GraphQL libraries have no proper examples of that. “Let’s create an array of values and serve that”. No one ever does that in real life.

As a result in reality everything is double the code 2/
Why? Because you get your data from an external service. And usually you present this data in an only slightly different way in GraphQL.

External service may provide a client with a contract id, but you present a client with a full contract from another external service 3/

If you follow @troyhunt and @lukew you know how bad things are around passwords, password forms, and password requirements. At the same time you're thinking: "it can't be *that* bad, can it?"

Oh, boy. A thread with nine examples

1/12
My laptop was stolen. So I decided to go through ~300 accounts stored in my 1password looking for weak passwords, 10-year old passwords etc. And updating them.

I updated ~50 accounts. Too bad I was busy changing passwords and not taking screenshots. Here's what I found:

2/12
- If you use a password manager, you will have to copy paste the new generated password into the "New password/Reset password form".

Pasting text will not trigger form validation. You have to at least delete and re-type a character. The most common problem.

Twitter has turned profitable. Algorithmic timelines, ads, likes surfacing etc. works. *For them* Don’t expect them to change that because you don’t like it 1/
Instagram is profitable. Algorithmic timelines, ads, stories, app that refreshes the entire feed when you blink etc. works. *For them* Don’t expect them to change it just because you don’t like it 2/
