If the future of publishing is an ipad friendly Wordpress theme the industry is in more trouble than I could conceive. This kind of absurd hyperbole makes it hard to take small but interesting ideas seriously.
- jasonlbaptiste 16y agoYou're sincerely mistaken if you think that's the end game for us or that the smart people involved would bet on something that small.
- gyardley 16y agoOf course there's got to be more to it - but he could be forgiven, given the content of the article you posted. So, tell us more.
- Ramone 16y agoSmart people are involved. What more do you need to know?
- pclark 16y agoEverything.
- jimboyoungblood 16y agoI think he was being sarcastic. At least I hope so.
- msy 16y agoIf I am mistaken it is indeed sincere as there is nothing in that article to even hint at anything more.
- joshu 16y agoSo one thing I notice on HN a lot (here and in the Qwiki thread) is that people have a tendency to belittle projects without enough information. "That's just X, and X isn't very hard" or whatever. It's sickening, and the people that do this are vigorously indicating they have at best shallow reasoning facilities. Some really great companies have much lower profiles than you might expect. Try not to draw conclusions on limited data, or at least understand the quality of said conclusions.
- d3x 16y agoThese companies should wait until they actually have something cool before making statements like "Forget apps, OnSwipe is the future of publishing."
