Mediocre designer here. Yes I had to use Bootstrap and glyph icons because my 2-man workshop has to publish software. We use flat design of course, since we really don't know what else is suitable. Any designers care to point out a path that we can make ourselves go past the stage of following what's easy and trendy? Some books to recommend or online courses would be great.

I recommend http://hackdesign.org/

They have collections of resources and articles curated by web designers and front-end developers focusing on user interfaces and design theories.

These aren't tutorials, but materials for you to read, learn, and apply to your designs and interfaces.

Thank you! This is some quality stuff. I just signed up for the weekly lessons.

The other nice thing is that there's no requirement to sign up for anything. You can view all the lessons here:

Thanks so much for the tip! Greatly appreciated.

Forrst is continually talking about all this stuff: http://forrst.com

I'm an iOS dev, and I hang out there to get better at design. I'm often in a better place to effect change, and it's always nice to know how to help a designer fix one or two things specific to mobile they may not know.

Why am I not subscribed to Forrst? Oh, right. They’re missing an RSS feed.

Let’s fix that: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=4fa38ba24cb2d5459...

I would recommend the book Design for Hackers.
