    The UI design of Google isn’t very hard to emulate, even by a junior frontend developer. It’s the backend that’s the really compel stuff.

      I think you’re vastly underestimating the amount of research and work that goes into making Google products so easy to use.

      UI isn’t just a front end development mashing their keyboard with HTML, CSS and JS. It’s hours and hours of observation, research, prototyping, pattern identification, prioritization of information, experimentation and then you create a simple white screen with one input box that does a million things.
