Reminder that Design should be not just about how it looks but also how it works…<\/p>

I was hoping since we can move Widgets onto the desktop that perhaps we’d get more spacing for Notifications but nope… 😒<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

[Look] at how useful it used to be! Everything was clear, legible, none of this “on hover” bs… and look how many notifications you can have in the list view… wow!<\/p>

Why does macOS continue to just regress?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

Both Growl and Notification Center in previous macOS versions (before Big Sur) worked better than what we have now.<\/p>\n\n

My running theory is that Apple is bad at retaining talent, and shifts people around too often. There’s no way there’s a “Notifications Team,” and instead we’re seeing some work to bring things into visual alignment, then moving on to something else. Like all software, the problem is ultimately mismanagement because you KNOW people in the company are bothered by this, too!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

I think my favorite are Shortcuts error notifications, because they don’t stack at all. When my Apple TV (home hub) reboots and my thermostats can’t connect I get a new, non-stacking notification every 10 minutes. Who designed that?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
