im - Apple, Big Sur, and the rise of Neumorphism

"Neumorphism has been making the rounds on Design Twitter for a little while

valid criticisms out there, primarily that early design experiments were focused
on design differentiation and not actual usability. But if you look beyond specific
implementations we've seen thus far -- usually created by designers whose
focus is formalism as opposed to usability -- to the base concepts, there is
something that's actually quite exciting and sustainable; something that has
yet to be fully realized."
