Isn't it crazy that the majority of startup/product websites now have background curves and skew(); lines. I wonder how this is going to be either;

a) transformed into a new creative format

b) maintained for longevity

The mobile stuff looks nice but does make you wonder whether brands can keep up with extreme design as a concrete brand image. Then again, I'm fond of things minimal.

Apparently one of the trends is error establishing a database connection.
I'd feel more comfortable with my personal data if that were the case.
Would be cool if someone could just create infographic with all 2019 UI and UX Design Trends as single image.
tl;dr: the <blink> and <marquee> tags are back, now powered by 5MB of JavaScript and WebGL per use.
It's no good having good UI and UX if your WordPress site doesn't have a good caching plugin installed...
What I want to see in UX design for 2019, is buttons that actually look like buttons, and not buttons that are hidden as practically anything on the page :/
The message seems to be "embrace the pretty shiny because you can" as opposed to "embrace thoughtful design that works in service of your idea". Not sure I'm 100% on board with this.

I mean, iPhones have had powerful processors and graphics chips for ages, but that doesn't mean every app is full of 3D nonsense for the sake of it. The basic animations, though making use of 3D concepts, are still effectively 2D and rather basic; they get out of the way of the content.

The demos in the article don't seem to be about the UI getting out of the way, but rather drawing more attention to itself than the content.
