It sounds like the purpose of muzzle is to enable Do Not Disturb automatically so you don't have to remember.

Landing pages are awful. In 5 years we're going to be as embarrassed of them as we are now of the mid-oughts' "Skip Intro" buttons.

They represent what's going on as of mid-2017 in landing page design. The one shift that I've seen since this collection was last updated is the migration to bolder, more…
