Agree to Agree
As we prepared to launch DesignScene 1.0 in late 2010, the internet was awash in stories about apps getting into legal trouble for reformatting articles from prominent publications. Wired asked, “Is Flipboard Legal?”, while All Things D reported, “Pulse iPad App Gets Steve Jobs’s Praise in Morning…Then Booted From App Store Hours Later After NYT Complains.” Since providing design-related...

Introducing DesignScene 2.0
Since the launch of our app two years ago, DesignScene has been a great learning experience for us and a labor of love. We’ve been diligently working in the background, and today proudly announce the release of version 2.0. So what’s new? Collections!

DesignScene: Now with Instapaper Love
One of the most requested features we’ve had since launching DesignScene has been Instapaper support. Instapaper, for those of you among the uninitiated (lucky you!), is a terrific service for saving web pages to read later. Sure there are other bookmarking services, but Instapaper then lets you read the page in a readability-style interface in native iPad and iPhone apps, so you can just focus on...
