    The Rise and Fall of Neumorphism

    Neumorphism, a UI design trend that emerged in 2019-2020, aimed to create new, fresh aesthetics by combining elements of realism with minimalism. It featured shadows, highlights, and pseudo-3D depth to make UI elements feel embedded or extruded from the background. Despite its visual appeal, neumorphism had practical issues, including low contrast, poor usability, and compatibility problems with dark modes. Following its decline, new trends such as glassmorphism and skeuomorphism 2.0 (hyper-realism) are gaining traction, each bringing distinct visual styles and improvements.

    ๐Ÿš€ Introducing Mirai โ€” A Server Driven UI framework for Flutter

    Mirai is a new server-driven UI framework for Flutter that enables dynamic UI updates and instant changes using JSON definitions. Traditional client-driven UI approaches are tedious and slow, requiring app store approvals and user updates. Mirai simplifies this process by allowing the server to control the UI, offering fast updates, easy personalization, simplified maintenance, and efficient A/B testing. Setting up Mirai involves adding dependencies to your Flutter project and defining UI elements in JSON, which are then rendered dynamically on the client side.

    Stop Using Pixels For Media Queries

    Using pixels for font sizes, media queries, padding, and margins is not recommended due to accessibility issues. Instead, using REM units allows for more responsive and scalable designs that adapt to user settings. This practice ensures that elements on the web page remain proportional and accessible across different devices and user preferences.
