Bringing Apple's Liquid Glass Design to the Web: Building Aave Glass
Summary
The article describes how a development team was inspired by Apple's Liquid Glass design language (announced at WWDC) to create their own glass effect called "Aave Glass" for their iOS and Android apps. It then details the technical process of bringing this same glass effect to the web, building a cross-browser implementation that shapes a family of UI components. The piece focuses on the design philosophy of making interfaces feel more alive and tactile through glass-like visual effects.

· 4 pulledIn June last year Apple announced Liquid Glass at WWDC, a fresh design language built around the physics of light bending through curved glass.
We felt inspired to bring that same magic to our apps, starting by bringing our own version of the effect to our Aave App for iOS and Android, which we call Aave Glass.
This quickly became a defining part of the Aave App experience, making our interfaces feel more alive and tactile.
We want to bring this same feeling to the experiences we build on the web.
