quit at 2 fingers because, why am i doing this? (i've actually commented before on HN about my dislike of all the sliders in the iOS UI, what an annoyingly difficult specialized skill to have to say up on just to hit what should be very fast and simple radio buttons or checkboxes)

The slider-style switches are dumb eye candy, I agree, but you don’t have to treat them as such, they toggle when tapped.

My big annoyance is how these massive balls of JavaScript and images and crap have infected UIs of web apps everywhere, as though people couldn’t understand a checkbox or something. Silly “UI designer” fad, and quite pathetic for a designer really, to just copy whatever Apple did.

You could probably run a successful "ai design" scam where you ask your mark a bunch of psychographic details about the customer and product, then ask them for their website url.

You discard all the psychographic data and blindly apply let's call "apple-ify.css" where you change the fonts, colors and contrast to just knockoff apple and then charge something like $499 for it with an elaborate pitch using buzzwords about machine learning and big data on how you're doing the latest in analysis driven design with cutting edge AI.

Meanwhile it's just a stupid static css file.

It'd probably work frighteningly well

I don’t think it would work if it were so unbelievably cheap as this.
