I hope it doesn't happen. But I also believe water and glass are absurd materials to base a user interface on so I don't know what to wish for.

Besides #designsky, anyone have any good bsky lists of designers that still actually post here? Seems most lists are full of people that bailed after the election surge

Two radio group UI options. The option for "Amazon Elastic Block Storage" in a normal box and the one for "PlanetScale Metal" in container that looks like an NVMe SSD.

Updated my site from light/dark mode to dark/night mode. I've always loved the old red BMW gauge cluster look and the Apple Watch Ultra night mode. jasonlong.me
