Weekly Design Links – 04/06/21

There’s an app for that

There’s an app for that

I’ve been making these weekly posts for a long time now. Every week (aside from a few holiday breaks) since October of 2016. That’s a lot of links. I’ve experimented with a weekly mailing list and even a daily mailing list. Neither worked for various reasons. But, I’m always open to new ways of distributing this content. So, when Vitamina K Design reached out about turning this into an app I was cautiously intrigued. The Weekly Design Links app is now live on the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. Check it out, and let me know what you think.
