Giving the option in accessibility settings would make more sense than blanket rollout
We updated our default star and “Important” label colors from yellow to blue to meet modern accessibility standards. This change ensures inboxes are clearer, easier to read, and more inclusive for everyone. Thanks for your support in building a better, more accessible Gmail 💙

how GitHub looks at its users after being forced to ingest 12 bajillion lines of hyperslop per second and then getting blamed for being down

Celebrating small wins is hardwired into "Achieve," our goal-tracking sample app. We wanted the simple act of checking off a task to feel like a celebration. Instead of the standard #Material ripple, we used Styles to drop in a custom, high-contrast completion animation—specifically, a brand-colored ring that expands and fades on tap, paired with a subtle pressed-state gradient. It lets us focus entirely on polishing those custom, rewarding micro-interactions while Material handles the foundation. #GoogleDesign #MaterialDesign #JetpackCompose #AndroidDev #UXDesign #InteractionDesign

2 different holographic CSS effects: holographic-sticker and hover-tilt (both on npm). Which is best?

The main way to adopt AI: building or buying tools for specific bottlenecks. But what about rolling out AI workflow builders for individual users? Route A) centralised responsibility - blame the system. B) responsibility on the individual
