I don't understand Venmo public payments. Like who is this for? I feel like it'd only cause drama with people who owe money or weren't invited to some social thing.

iOS 26 Liquid Glass Design Drama: Beta 2 vs. Beta 3 Changes in Every App Apple has been refining Liquid Glass during the developer beta testing process, and both beta two and beta three have introduced some major tweaks....

There's a comparison here of the changes. It's definitely an improvement in some apps, but still there is some hard to read surfaces, especially in dark mode

Interesting, I'm not able to replicate on my end. If you create a bug report using the question mark in the bottom right it should provide more details for us to investigate. It looks like something is blocking pointer events to the icon buttons as our icons buttons have hover states.

Is it seemingly random or is there something where it consistently happens?

The other part of this Nebraska story is that while they are saying there’s a significant deficit, they have also been trying to kill legalizing marijuana which passed by vote last election. And passed by vote the election before.

Got a ConEd alert telling me to use less energy during the heat wave and this is all I can think about.

At least they have the accessibility setting to turn off the effect, but even with that setting on, I still have trouble reading. Hopefully they'll be responsive to feedback like they did when they went super thin with Helvetica Neue.

It’s like when you’re trying to figure out if you want to buy a product from a company and they put their demo behind a contact wall…must not be that great of a demo if I have to have your sales team sell it to me.

I feel like the design community no longer doing wireframes and other information architecture practices was a mistake.

It’s like designing a buildings facade without thinking about how the building can stand on its own.

This #GAAD and every GAAD, you can champion #accessibility by hiring accessibility specialists, paying them well, ensuring they have what they need to be successful and make a change, and by not putting their heads on the chopping block first whenever layoffs roll around.

It's so frustrating the design community is still over on X. Like they are the only major platform with a song celebrating hitler unbanned and y'all are cool with that?

I typically recommend the addition of an icon though because it makes the distinction of an error and help text much more clear.

Much of this was based on the UK Gov design system. design-system.service.gov.uk/components/t.... They bypass the need for an icon because they add a bar to the left and their error color is greater than 3:1 contrast compared to their text color.
