Pretty cool concept. I never really used Newsstand and I also didn't like that you couldn't remove it (although that's gonna change.) I think this could be an awesome tool to compete with publications like Flipboard especially if there is revenue tied to the model. The only challenge is getting those first users because I've never met one person with an iPhone that uses Newsstand.
- holgersindbaek 13y agoHi Joe CTO and co-founder of Uninkd here... What did you mean by "You couldn't remove it"? We know the whole situation with newsstand, but magazines like - http://the-magazine.org http://the-magazine.org - have really managed to create a good deal of subscribers. I don't like most newsstand magazines either. Many of them seem like they have been converted from a pdf. I think we have managed to find a nice format to release your magazine on.
- aaronbrethorst 13y ago> What did you mean by "You couldn't remove it"? I assume he means that Newsstand cannot be deleted or moved into another folder.
- joeblau 13y agoSorry, I meant you couldn't put Newstand in a group folder. I definitely think your publishing platform has great promise.
- holgersindbaek 13y agoHaha ok. Would be surprised if I had made an un-removeable app :-). Thanks.
