Hmmm, this minimalist style looks very familiar.

#62Hmm. Material design is clicking twice on the play button to launch a Youtube video.
You have to click play three times on mobile. Try it.

#63The most iconic feature of "material design" to me is the "create" button in the lower right-hand corner. Except if you're in landscape in, say, Gmail, it's in the center bottom since it's a part of the message list. Can someone explain why a create button is given this privileged and inconsistent position instead of being in a menubar like every other button in every app ever?
I'm also wondering the same thing. This new trend of putting a create button in the bottom right of the screen seems counter intuitive and annoying. Fortunately, both the Mint and Reddit apps allow it to be turned off, but I'm not looking forward to seeing this spread to other applications.
Bottom-right = easiest to reach spot on the phone if you hold it with your right hand.
Though I agree the whole thing is inconsistent.

#64Earlier quoted context omitted.
Back button doesn't work right on that site. It gets you back to the top of previous page, it doesn't take you down where you were on the page. I love modern web UX. (Firefox & Chromium. )
Modern Web UX: "Because hey, who really cares about disabled people?"
That's more the guy who implemented the website that gave up on UX. Not a very good testimony to their "design language".

#65Idk but I'm not the biggest an of the implementation of Material Design. I like the principles but some of the elements are just really ugly–i.e. the huge heroes.

This thing is infuriating, I never remember how to create a new file in Google Drive now (it's the bottom right FAB located at a place yet unexplored in every desktop UI ever).

#67Am I the only one who gets a headache trying to decipher tile layouts like this? My eyes bounce back and forth and I still have no idea how the information is structured or what's important. I appreciate that Google is sharing all of this though.
Well at least it loaded for me in Opera, unlike the Google I/O site which reminded me of the dark days of the single browser web.
The Google I/O site works fine in Opera. Not sure what you're seeing. Considering that Opera now uses Blink, that's not really surprising.

#68I'm someone very comfortable with the internals of things. But my design sense is awful. My sites never look as polished as I'd like them to. How can I get a design sense?
Padding and font-weight are really the most crucial.
Re: Google Design
#69For strange reasons I am getting the same vibe I got when I was viewing Google's Wave promotion, as if Google had uncovered the best thing ever. Everyone at Google seems super excited about their new things. I suppose when they're in their own little silo universe everything seems exciting and right.
Again I am only speaking about the feeling I got after watching the promotion video.
Re: Google Design
#70there exists the term "overengineered" for technical products. There should be a term "overdesigned" for user interfaces too.
Material design is a good example for this.
