iTunes Summary

This week, we recap last week's Fight Me poll results, cover some news on React and Firefox, answer a listener question about professional labels, review a listener's side project, and share a couple cool things.

Recap:

Listener Question:

@CrowCrane asks: "In the world of product design, I’ve found it’s often difficult to define your roll. Who am I?!"

Side Project Review:

Note: Because digital design is ephemeral, the project linked below may no longer match the version we reviewed on the podcast. Just a heads-up :)
