Johannes Treitz - The algorithm for a perfectly balanced photo gallery

"Ever since we started working on Chromatic we knew we wanted the photos
to be as big as possible. No tiny thumbnails, no square-cropping, no wasting
of precious screen real estate.

tios (that's width divided by height) and we want them to be equally distri-
buted over the rows, taking up all the space available."

"Neumorphism has been making the rounds on Design Twitter for a little while
now, and most of the response to it has been negative. There are plenty of
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."
