I'm gonna dust off my 'Design Diary' series to walk through my summer experience of adopting the iOS 26 Design System. I find it personally helpful to write down my thought process as I work and hopefully it will also be useful more broadly.
My first post is about how I've decided that my initial implementation of Liquid Glass will be 100% default and standard UI. I am going to hold myself to not doing any hacks or custom things until I fully understand the new system.
