@tuomas_h@mastodon.social @siracusa@mastodon.social It feels so good here to have an unambiguously bounded area that clearly defines the content and its inherent whitespace, instead of a wider one where the translucent floating sidebar implies that the content actually has a big left margin. If the chrome (or glass) wants to get out of the way of the content, it needs to respect the content’s designed bounds.

@siracusa@mastodon.social This directly connects to your distaste for floating bottom-row controls. Hard agree.

@FormerlyStC@mas.to @siracusa@mastodon.social Figma, in their recent-ish redesign, introduced similar floating sidebars to big fanfare, but reversed course very soon – turns out designers actually hated them.
