The original goal of reducing news prevalence was to show less outrage/clickbait and show more friends and family content. Of course, hindsight shows that the move was of limited efficacy, but it's disingenuous to suggest that it

It's much more reminiscent of BB-style forums where moderators were part of the community and would explain their actions at the time of enforcement. This is unfortunately un-scalable, and so larger communities turn to strictly enforce

In my opinion bottom sheets are actually a far superior experience to the previous pattern of dialogs/modals or push screens: - The user doesn't lose their navigation stack because they can tell the bottom sheet can be dismissed,

I've seen cases where Apple will actually decompile/debug your app and point you the exact feature / method / line that they find unacceptable. Despite all of my other complaints about iOS ecosystem, they _do_ keep their

Excellent list! I'd also recommend adding "What is this?" to the list, and for extra credit, do some research on the vernacular / polite way to address strangers in public ("Excuse me" also works for this in a

I actually prefer the butterfly keyboard's clickiness – coming from a mechanical keyboard, I always found the chiclet keys a tad too mushy. And the jarringly-short travel, while annoying at first, is easy to adapt to. The thing that tu
