Welcome back to StartupDigest Design, the members-only guide to what you need to read in the design industry every week.This weeks’ digest is inspired by Craig Mod’s recent essay on the future of our book and made me reflect upon the form of what we’re creating on the web. So I included a couple first hand examples from designers as well as open frameworks you can use to shape your apps.
