First of all let me say that I think this is a really great zine. I'm not really a zine guy, but I'm really excited about this. But, gently, let me say this format kind of sucks for reading. I generally HATE reading on paper, but this had me saying "I'd buy this on paper". My biggest gripe is I read partway through last night, and then wanted to go back to it today and my browser "suspended" that tab so I'm back at the front page. Probably like if I laid down a print pub. ;-) I guess the right answer there is to download and open it in a pdf reader.
All that said, I'd encourage you to NOT switch to HTML and leave it as PDF. There's something about it.
- psd1 2y agoRe PDF/HTML... I suppose it's not the literal file format, although I do see value in a format that is closer to "everyone gets the same experience" (c.f. recent blogpost about grammarly extension borking CSS) I miss when you got one edition of your favourite mag, once a month, and could read it beginning to end, or on any order you fancy, but you got _an amount_ of content and could complete it. Web properties of any scale now do not really have a "size" that you can experience. You can't "complete" them. And this breaks up a communal experience. I'm on HN, and so are you: but we're not on the same HN. Whereas if I see you picking up Total Guitar, I could ask you if you got anywhere with the Satch tab in October's edition. Is that what you were driving at?
