RE: My opinions about lomiri
@applee more like a library for design with premade components. is there a design system i can use to make the mockups or do people currently just create every mockup from scratch

@applee would you know if there is a component library in sketch or some sort? i found an old one online but can't seem to find updated versions for it

RE: My opinions about lomiri
@nero355 i mean fair but the widgets are like an optional thing if it where present in ubuntu.
and true buttons are more reliable but unfortunately it will be hard for most phones to keep the buttons as it will be less present each year.
and yea it looks fine but a bit more customization like windows phone would be nice
I'm just pointing out that most more modern phones will have less of a good user experience.
and there are lots of people that use the phone while driving etc (not saying it's a good thing but still )
i think it's based on preference

My opinions about lomiri
As a frontend developer I think the lomiri desktop environment is a great looking environment but:
the ux is dated.
it is how we used to navigate 6 years ago on phones not bigger than 5 inch.
Even apple has said goodbye to their back button at the top left center. it's not great ux and forces the user to use it's other hand or to grab it in a different way. the home button is not present even tough i get why it's something users are familiar with. sometimes you just want to close an app/game in one swipe. i find allot of things about the ui frustrating because it's not user friendly for the user with a bigger screen or even for the user that's used to doing stuff with one hand.
only left handed people have a decent experience at the moment.The customization could be better.
I am not such fan of the color palette. and maybe a material you feature could make the entire ui even better.desktop
The desktop/homescreen is empty which is a great thing for the mind but some widgets would make the entire experience better.Conclusion
Maybe a plugin system or an api is an idea that could be implemented.these are just ideas but i think new swipe gestures and some improvements will give the operating system the boost it deserves.
