Funny that this and &quot;Round Rects Are Everywhere&quot; (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=40781838">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=40781838</a>) are on the front page at the same time ….

This is a petty comment, but I have to make it: for a company as rich as Figma, and who&#x27;s identity is design software, it&#x27;s very jarring to see such horrendous math rendering (or lack thereof) in their blog.

This might be just a personal rant, but I hate, despise, abhor squircles.<p>For some (irrational, I admit) reason, to me they are a visual reminder of all that went wrong in computing since the times the rounded rectangle was king. The vision of squircles in any UI instantly produces in me a sensation of a patronizing voice saying &quot;don&#x27;t you just LOVE walled gardens and app stores and closed hardware and ads and...&quot;.<p>Of course the squircles themselves are innocent, but what can I do.
