The digest of interesting materials for the mobile # 349 developer (on June 15 – 21)

In the new digest, we again deal with dark themes, with Apple’s monopoly, with the recent release of Android 11 and testing difficulties, with UX borders and download scaling.

From the point of view of methodology, there is an interesting detail in educational projects: we use two approaches in training – individual and team. Some teachers build the curriculum based on tight teamwork, while others, on the contrary, rely on the individual work of each student.

But, leaving aside the discussion about the aesthetics of a dark topic, is it really good for the eyes? Does a dark theme really increase productivity with text? Raluca Budiu of the Nielsen Norman Group provides comprehensive answers.

This digest is available as a weekly mailing lists. And daily we send news to Telegram channel.
