Medium Visual Challenge

[LaloCo]

My attempt at replicating Medium's app:

What went well

• I see that the frame now has the 4 rounded corners on iOS instead of the top pointy ones, or did I do something different? 🤔
• Unrelated, perhaps, but I find PlatformConfiguration's iOSSpecific and AndroidSpecific super useful!

What didn't

• Margins are a bit to big in some scenarios. My ListView for example had to have a big negative top margin after the ScrollView so the spacing wasn't too big.
• Is the "Silver" color not the same on both platforms? They seem a bit different. I guess this is related to @Depechie's point regarding label colors.

I would like to see

• A way to easily change the selected background on Android, or is there one already? I keep doing some weird stuff on my cells Custom Renderers.
• It would be great to have a bit more control over the shadows (x, y and blur)

Result:

Android	iOS

Thanks @LaloCo ! Great notes.

How did you discover them?

You'll be glad to get this: xamarin/Xamarin.Forms#4867

More blur control on the shadows, absolutely. The next iteration is going to be exposing properties like that.

I think it was back when I was looking for ways to handle the new iPhone X (with its notch and all).
