Fuck homogenized UI design
I agree with the opinion, I like diversity, but disagree on what counts. It’s a spectrum, and this is at the lighter end. I’m hoping to make the suggestions as loose as possible, just enough to avoid stuff like the first example.
Let devs do whatever they fuck they want.
The point is not to force anyone to do anything, not that they even could be forced. The point is to get people to pay attention to what others are doing instead of unintentionally reinventing the wheel. No hard rules.
Pick the app you want and then learn its icons.
There’s no “the” app. For example, I don’t like photon as much on my phone, and I very much don’t like voyager on desktop. Relearning how to read icons when switching apps can also suck.
But anyway, I’ll keep this in mind. If the reception becomes mostly negative, I’ll shut up about this.
Guess this a good example of what I don’t want to affect. IMO the examples for controversal in this thread range between acceptable and amazing.
