kind of hilarious that a trillion dollar company's microsite *about* ux engineering just completely missed this breakpoint bug

a screenshot of uxe.withgoogle.com, a website about user experience engineering at google. there's overlapping text that makes it kind of unreadable, which is ironic given that it's a site about engineering user experiences.

My fav iOS 26 update so far is the return of “slide to X”. Always loved this mechanism. What a lovely surprise to have it reappear!

Very confused / intrigued as to how this component was implemented, because not only is it misaligned, it also looks to be slightly askew?

A closer screenshot of the progress indicator component. Genuinely curious about how this was implemented

just came across this nice and simple implementation. really appreciate the inline expansion (and the intuitive press-to-hide) as compared to the common internal linking practice of footnotes

i like gwern branwen's, but they're sometimes hard for me to spot because gwern has so many popup links
