YouTube may have decided not to roll out its most recent UI redesign after backlash on Reddit and X, where users questioned the practicality of the overly cluttered new look. The redesigned UI places video recommendations and the Shorts shelf below the video player, taking up space generally used for video details and comments. While most people now see the traditional layout, some have reported still seeing the trial layout.

Different tools tackle the UI challenge of indenting nested treeview components with varying solutions. GitHub uses CSS Grid and calculated spacer widths for a clean, adaptable layout. Figma uses JavaScript-driven spacer management, which works well but is much more complex. Adobe uses either padding adjustments (Photoshop) or pseudo-elements (Spectrum) for visual depth.

Unsung design heroes like Larry Tesler, Susan Kare, and Douglas Engelbart created fundamental UI elements. Corporations often prefer to keep their employees anonymous, leaving great product work largely unrecognized. While the best designs usually go unnoticed, the design narrative tends to spotlight individuals over teams. Still, it's important to seek inspiration from those who have tackled similar challenges and examine their strategies.
