Don’t get me wrong. I’ve always known developers generally don’t give a fuck when it comes to porting for android. They’ll do the bare minimum and have the app look like it was made in 2005 while on IOS they’ll go out of their way to use apples own design language.
But what was an awake up call for me is seeing hit tweets with 100 thousand likes of tweets like “if you want your app to look nice on this phone, you’re gonna have to adapt to all these layouts” as if these layouts haven’t existed for the past 6 years. It’s so weird to see on the outside but I feel like if you’re an app developer, you would have already considered those layouts but they really just don’t care. Google and Samsung have to resort to having the phone do the work for them and hope it doesn’t look like crap.
Anyways the very least, we should just have better support now that they give a shit I guess so we just reap those rewards.
