Edwin says to either have hover effects for all clickable items or none of them. Buttons currently don’t have hover effects but links do.

I could remove hover effects from links. macOS links in System Settings don’t have a hover effect either. (They don’t even have a pointer cursor but IMO that’s going too far.)

I tried removing hover effects on links in dev and the user experience suffered as a result.

Especially for smaller links, like the hash links in idea headers, it’s nice getting that visual feedback that you are in fact hovering over the link and your click won’t miss it.

When there are two links next to each other, like when it says “Dennis Hackethal revised” in the activity feed, the user needs some way to see that they’re two links and not just one. Underline on hover shows them that.
