I’ve agonized over building my own websites, only to come up with horrible designs. When it came to picking a WordPress theme for this blog, I understood something I didn’t quite get as an inexperienced designer: the more shit you cram onto a page, the more distracted your readers will be. I didn’t fully appreciate this until I bought a tablet, because the tablet provides a better environment for immersive reading than a PC ever has. For this reason, I chose a responsive design that has one column, focused on content, when reading from a mobile device. It’s a completely different reading experience compared to a desktop. Today I’m going to focus on how cleanly designed mobile apps have rescued deep reading.
