I think this is actually one of the very first times I have seen neumorphic design in the wild.

Prior to this I’ve mostly only seen it on dribbble.

I actually like this style a lot, and I wish more apps would use it. But at this point I thought that this style was one that “came and went” before it saw any significant actual use in any apps or OSes. Maybe there is still hope after all :)

Edit: oh and I had to try asking your tool for sentiment about neumorphic design after this of course. It returned my own comment lol :p and it called it “neutral”. Is it only evaluating the first paragraph that the word appears in in the comment? (Also I guess other people more commonly refer to it as “neumorphism” than as “neumorphic design” and maybe that’s why when I asked it for neumorphic design it returned my own comment.)

To me, neumorphic design looks like skeumorphism for those cheap interfaces made of one continuous sheet of thin printed (sometimes vacuformed) plastic with the actual buttons hidden underneath. Stuff like [1] or [2]. And while I love skeumorphism, I hate those kinds of plastic interfaces. They always use the cheapest mushy buttons, and the pressable area of the buttons is always much smaller than what the printed buttons suggest. It's probably the one kind of physical interface I hate with a passion, and imitating it digitally doesn't evoke any positive feelings in me.

Still better than making everything flat without shadows and making me guess where I can click, I guess.

Edit: just checked, this comment was analyzed as "Sentiment: neutral (Confidence: 79.56%)" on the topic of "neumorphic"
