Interface Lineage opens: 15 years of collected interfaces, 500+ patterns free to read
round · x · 2026-10-29
Johannes Mutter has opened Interface Lineage, a free library of 500+ interfaces collected over 15 years, tracing how interaction patterns evolve: how inertial scrolling (iPhone, 2007) led to pull-to-refresh; why broken submenus persist everywhere despite the 1987 "Safe Triangle" fix; where the iPod wheel came from. Knowing these pattern names lets you prompt them directly to AI for better interfaces — and the library itself is designed for AI to connect to and retrieve from, demos included.
