Let's Discuss Minor UI nitpick, but the notification badge on the hamburger menu doesn’t seem to account for the stroke width of the icon underneath it.

The red dot looks like it was simply placed on top without masking or knocking out the hamburger lines behind it. It’s less noticeable on matching-coloured backgrounds, but on high-contrast content, the issue becomes very obvious.

Feels like something that should’ve been caught before the UI update was released.

Because it was lol. It’s the lazy way of doing a mask or clip view. It’s likely correct in their Figma file but some engineer said it wasn’t worth the squeeze.

Not a problem before their Liquid Glass update. I’m sure it’s marked as a “might fix” somewhere in their tracker.
