@ric@mastodon.qweb.co.uk KitKat was peak Android. The one where the screen went like an old CRT TV when you turned it off. It was so satisfying.

@thomastc@mastodon.gamedev.place I don't remember a CRT effect, but i do remember KitKat being a codename I was excited for. To date, I think the best feature Android ever added was those cards before they went full voice search. You'd drive to London or something and it'd pop up cards telling you where to get lunch and what the weather would be like, which hotels had vacancies, what the train times were, where to park, etc. All sorts of actually useful things because it recognised you were out for the day.
