    Get ready to get sick of hearing me talk about design‐led open source. If we really want to build an open future, we need to embrace design.

        @aral by 'design' we're talking about holistic design rather than graphical design, right?

        @aral Design + open source is tough. Good design needs a level of decision/leadership that's hard to make work in OS. Interesting though.

        @timharbour Exactly. So though only a fool would undertake such a thing. Hence why I’ve been quiet on it for so long. But it needs to exist.

        @aral Do you mean a specific kind of design (GUI, API, ...) or design in the broader, more general meaning?

        @kristofclaes I mean experience design—service design. Focus on holistic design. Hardware + software.

        @aral part of it is already visible on the web. Many nice designs available in web frameworks/templates. Not so much for native apps?
