Thanks for the thought!

Yeah, you can't underestimate notepads!

I hear ya on the stickers! thanks for the thought!

Nice!

Ah, good point! thanks for the thought!

How I built this from NPR is really great - it's more about how ideas began but design is definitely an aspect of that!

amen

this is a good observation and good self promotion ;)

Oh very nice I'll definitely check out Pasquale and his article! thanks for sharing!

Yeah, we agree with you Jan and had already come to that conclusion internally :) I'm passionate about exploring new things which is why I even conceived of trying out a new navigation. Right now in our project phase we are able to explore some less conventional ideas which is why I built this prototype in Principle for Mac. We as a company definitely value creating user centric experiences, but we also seek to try new approaches if we have the time and freedom to explore before we need to begin production. As others have pointed out here, there is value in thinking outside of convention. If we only believe there is one way of doing something, we as an industry will stagnate and overlook opportunities to bring users delight & better experiences. It's also challenge to our own team of engineer & designers to expand our capabilities through new problems. Thanks for all your feedback, I appreciate that you're very passionate about the topic.
