LEG–ACY
A publication focused on the intersection of technology, design, culture, and hardware. We document what's happening without the hype cycle. Observational reporting on products, platforms, and the people building them. No hot takes. No sponsored rankings. Just editorial.
Gen Z Killed the Influencer
Authenticity used to be the currency. Now it is the performance. The generation that grew up with influencers does not trust them anymore.
The Quiet Death of the Command Line
Terminal interfaces are disappearing from consumer software. The shift is not about dumbing down, it is about designing for intent.
The Return of Skeuomorphism
Flat design dominated for a decade. Now shadows, textures, and depth are coming back, but refined, not literal.

Smartphones have 48MP sensors. Laptops are stuck with 720p. The gap is not technical, it is priority.
The Streaming Wars Are Over. Everyone Lost
Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, Paramount+, Peacock, Apple TV+. The fragmentation that killed cable is now killing streaming.
Why Every App Looks the Same
Design systems brought consistency. They also brought homogeneity. The cost of efficiency is differentiation.
Local-First Software Is Eating the Cloud
Apps that work offline-first and sync later are replacing the always-connected model. The architecture is old. The timing is new.
USB-C Won. Now What?
One port to rule them all was the promise. The reality is dongles, confusion, and cables that look identical but do different things.
