Beautiful design or useful design?

Some time ago, Apple introduced a new visual style for its interface that many call “liquid glass.” It looks modern, shiny, almost as if the entire screen were made of polished glass. At first glance, it's impressive, no doubt about it.

But once you start using it every day, certain things begin to bother you. It’s not just about how it looks, but about how it feels to use.

Every reflection and shadow adds weight to the system. If you're not using the latest phone model, you’ll notice it: animations slow down, the battery drains faster, and everything feels heavier. And that’s not all. Sometimes it's hard to read text because it's layered over blurry backgrounds. Or you can’t find a button easily because it blends in with too many visual effects. These delays may seem small, but in interface design, seconds matter.

There’s also something few people consider: designs that try too hard to stand out tend to age poorly. What seems cutting-edge today may feel outdated in a few months. On the other hand, a simple, clean, and functional visual style remains useful for years.

We believe that good design is not only the one that grabs attention, which is certainly our business card, but also the one that is always there, making everything flow naturally. It's not about dazzling with shine, but about guiding with clarity.

Because in the end, what really matters isn’t that an app looks like liquid glass, it’s that you can use it with your eyes closed.
