This is really dope, I love the aesthetic. The varied style of each page is rather appealing to me, in a way I think it reminds me of combing through something like textfiles.com or archive.org, you don't know what to expect next and that's exciting.
><i>Android Reverse Engineering</i><p>Heck yes, I wish more people knew this. It's super easy. There's loads of interesting (and "interesting") stuff in apps. Even better: you can get your phone's framework code (usually in odex files) and decompile it! I've found and worked around some insane things that Samsung has done to their SMS providers on some phones....
I liked it a lot, the one page format is awesome, and I like the varying styles - it kept my interest high.<p>But can I suggest making it half the current size?<p>By making it smaller you could release more often, keeping awareness/interest alive. It's also easier to read in a single sitting, rather than have to come back to it.
Great! Will follow and subscribe. I miss magazines like this, in particular Algorithm Magazine, edited in the 1990s by A. K. Dewdney.<p>[1] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Dewdney" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Dewdney</a>
Note: Dewdney's role in the Algorithms Magazine is not mentioned in the Wikipedia article.
Looks amazing! How often can we expect new issues and do you expect around the same volume of content each issue ?<p>Edit: I can see it's quarterly in FAQ
This is really cool! Looking forward to the next edition of this.<p>If anyone could point me to something similar, that'd be great (I know of 2600 and Phrack). I'm aware that Lainchan produces their own community magazine, but progress has been slow.
This is great, it feels like the 90s again- at first I was not a fan of the single page format, it felt a bit short, but I came around to appreciate it- and if anything it will drive traffic to the linked sites if I want more info, which the author's will consider a good thing.<p>Where did you originally put out a call for articles? I generally feel pretty tuned in to tech circles, but am kind of surprised you were able to get this many submissions without having to spam lots of places and not have been a blip on my radar somewhere- and I also wonder what I may be missing in terms of good communities.
Oh, my! This could not be more perfect for someone like me. I have too short an attention span for long technical articles (not something I'm particularly proud of btw), so the one-page thing is fabulous. I also love that there seems to be such a variety of topics. Finally, I actually really enjoy pulling up and reading a PDF on the iPad. Gives it that real magazine 'feel' that websites just can't get (IMHO). Well done!
It looks good. I'm going to print it.<p>But does every page have a <i>different</i> retro theme, or is there a unifying pattern to it all that I am not genius enough to detect?
Suggestion: Since you're publishing in PDF format, how about linking to <a href="https://pdfreaders.org/" rel="nofollow">https://pdfreaders.org/</a> on your homepage?<p><a href="https://fsfe.org/campaigns/pdfreaders/pdfreaders.en.html" rel="nofollow">https://fsfe.org/campaigns/pdfreaders/pdfreaders.en.html</a>
This is awesome. Brilliant idea, and some great articles in there too.<p>One small nitpick that I hope you can fix for upcoming editions is the shocking alignment of the page numbers on the table of contents. It's just so messy and amateur looking, please try and tidy that up!
Reminds me of the zines included in the Zachtronics game EXAPUNKS which serve both as instruction manual and exposition. <a href="http://www.zachtronics.com/exapunks/" rel="nofollow">http://www.zachtronics.com/exapunks/</a>
Love the idea, reminds me of 2600 and I can't way to read it.<p>Somewhat tangential: I often want to read PDF files and am never happy with my printing setup. Is there a service that will print any PDF at high quality, bind it for larger prints, and snail mail it to me?
@gynvael - Please add a conventional mailing list option for following the updates/new issues. RSS would work too. Twitter even. I can't be the only HNer for whom the Google Groups option is a no-go for more reasons than one.
I was excited about the idea, but PDFs are a big issue. I want my content as RSS feed, please (although having a RSS feed announcing new PDF issue could work...).<p>Edit: The problem is that PDFs are basically usability wise readable only on iPad and even then not that spectacular. Also my iPad usually stays at home so no reading from laptop or from phone either.
Why the purple? Dont know if its just me, but found the styling to be a distraction. The content is good enough to stand by itself without the font and color gimmickry.
