I miss disco so much. Back from the Delicious Era [1] of apps that were functional yet had character and play.

The delicious era … it was nice to “be there”, but honestly, I always felt like it was too much glossy. And I usually missed some feature there and felt back to the “boring” apps.

And I mean, Delicious Library… it looks good, but… why would I scan everything I have, to look at it on my Mac? What’s the point. I never understood it even back then.

But yeah, GUIs from that era were amazing, and then moved to iOS in the first iterations, with all the skeuomorphism. It all died with the move to the new flat designs I guess.

Today Mac apps are just mostly Electron/swiftui and boring.
