    Hey Matias!

    I've got an easy one - what's your favorite design detail in L (and/or across all Google products)?

    Mine is how the settings gear rotates in along with opacity as you pull down on the notifications panel.. as if it's really traveling on its own.

      I think the solution of notifications as a stack of cards is surprisingly elegant. It has the attributes of a drawer with scrolling content in it, without the heavy handedness of a drawer which cover the screen - just the cards and how they stack at both ends.

      It seems like a simple problem, but if you really sit down and study it you'll see it's quite tricky!
