"I just don't get it" sums up my thoughts on a lot of Material Design. Here's an example from just this morning, where I wanted to sign up for Netlify News: https://www.netlify.com/news/

There's a form near the bottom of page, but it's very, very easy to miss because it implements Material Design-inspired input fields. And thought this is a DIY implementation, the 'official' version is highly similar: https://material.angularjs.org/latest/demo/input

For me, no animation or clever UX in the world is worth actually hiding the input a user is looking to use.

wowser I just took a look at that. totally confusing, can not understanf why anyone in UX would find that acceptable.

I honestly think this Material thing is just a huge troll of the design community.
