How to Create a Neumorphic Design With SwiftUI.

Step 1). Open Xcode
Step 2). Close Xcode
Step 3). Sit down and evaluate why you are creating a Neumorphic App. Stop!!

In all seriousness, good tutorial. Terrible design (IMO)

Thanks! I guess? :grinning:

Good tutorial on how to modify components but yeah, “neumorphism” is a big no-no if you want your app to be accessible.

#5

Could you expand on that? Is it because the gradients make it harder to differentiate components for some?

#6

That’s one of the reasons, yes. It’s inaccessible in that people will sight issues may have trouble distinguishing the controls, increases cognitive load as subtle shadows are used instead of obvious-looking controls; and because subtle shadows are used to distinguish controls then it can lead to them being hard to decipher in certain light conditions.

So yeah, this isn’t a new Material Design. It’s designers getting excited over shadows and at the same time throwing out decades of research into design accessibility.

Thanks for the explanation!
