Another area that modern app design hasn't penetrated to is the literary journal. The poets who publish on the web do so in one of two types of place:

  • A blogger page, with a default template;
  • Some totally cut-off PDF zine with exquisite (or not) design.

Neither format is optimal. Literature is inescapably aesthetic and thus design, typography, the rest are integral to its function. But this is the modern age and I should be able to tweet my poems and subscribe to RSS feeds.
