How to know if an article would fit there? For example, I was thinking about adjusting my http://p.migdal.pl/2017/01/06/king-man-woman-queen-why.html http://p.migdal.pl/2017/01/06/king-man-woman-queen-why.html (already with some interactive components) or writing about RoI polling (https://deepsense.io/region-of-interest-pooling-explained/ https://deepsense.io/region-of-interest-pooling-explained/ - by my colleague, but more interactive). Would it be on-topic? (After changing style accordingly.)

Please check out our journal policies page: http://distill.pub/journal/ http://distill.pub/journal/ In brief, Distill needs to see three things to publish an article: outstanding communication, advancing the dialogue, and scientific integrity. Distill often works with authors to help them bring their articles up to our standards. Additionally, as a primary publication, Distill will not republish content already published elsewhere, or publish "translations" of papers where someone rewrites the content of a previous paper. (This relates to advancing the dialogue.) If you reach out to editors@distill.pub, we're happy to discuss pre-submission inquiries about journal scope and related topics.

  Thank you! Of course I read it, just (as it is a new thing) still guessing what is a good fit, and what isn't. (For some reason I though that this t-SNE article was published elsewhere. Now I see that it was on Distill, but just before its big start.)

    Yep, we're still clarifying our policies. If you have questions, please email us! (Distill needs to be extra careful about a lot of this stuff because we're trying to build legitimacy for a kind of work that many people are inclined to not treat as academic contributions. So on some things, like being a primary publication, we may end up taking a more defensive posture than we would in an ideal world.)

      I wish all the best to this wonderful initiative! (As a side note, my co-advisor dreamt about this style of communication in science (though, in physics): https://physicsnapkins.wordpress.com/2012/04/16/a-personal-dream-jpi/. https://physicsnapkins.wordpress.com/2012/04/16/a-personal-d...) I totally understand that you need to be set high reference level at the very beginning, even if at the cost of being a bit "conservative" (I am not sure if the best word here).
