Design Decisions: Backpack page blank slate
“So for the new version of Backpack we’re working on right now we wanted to rethink the blank slate. We wanted to get to the point faster. Make a better connection between what you can do, how you can do it, and where you can do it.
The power of rough edges

on 02 Jan 07I thought the “Backpack page blank slate” was one of the more interesting posts this year. I always like to see how a page or application evolves and how other people think during that process.
