I don't like the doc, again. Animations are overused. CPU usage goes crazy.
Tried to look at this on my phone... Does not work at all. I hope they're pushing themselves down in search results since it's not mobile friendly.
Material design is ...alright. It's good to have a framework for consistency I guess, though I don't understand why people use it for their own stuff unless they're making an Android app.
Though I'm confused as to how Google are using it for their own products: the new Gmail seems to mix Product Sans with Roboto at random. Good typefaces, but too similar to provide enough contrast. Just looks like a mistake.
Considering 'Material Theming' (meaning customized material design) is the new shit, I guess that's just that.
Nice with a Sketch theme editor, but the plugin is extremely slow. Changing theme colors or fonts take 30-60 sec and my computers fan goes crazy ^
"Make beautiful products, faster."
They're really matured this from their original ideas of "Quantum paper" into about faster product design - which I think is a really clever.
Really excited to see examples for Flutter right out of the gate. They're not kidding about actually making faster. Kudos Google!
I love the new presentation. The presentation studies are pretty cool for students and new kids :)
** FOR THE ICONS anyone know if there is yet any free sketch ressources of all new Icon themes? (I am too lazy to download all svgs...)
