1. OK - but couldn't I get someone to share all the articles, post the links up on the web, and then view them all for free? A bit clunky but you know someone would do it.

2. Right, but could I have a non-renewing annual subscription? I'll explain why below.

3. Not a problem for me but probably would be for others.

4. Definitely a problem. If you can, you should think about doing manual Paypal payments for at least some non-US users. There wouldn't be that many to start with anyway.

I have a book ("A History of the Future in 100 Objects") that's being published later this year; I'm planning to serialise it as a Newsstand publication as well and have been working with a rival of yours ;) But I'm keen to see what you guys do.

(Demo bug report: I'm pretty sure I'm signed in but I'm still seeing the 'Sign up and save' form at the top. Also, your "Remember to upvote" box appears to be sitting on top of the place where your walkthrough claims I should be able to preview my magazine. Finally, clicking 'Publish' results in a NoMethodError)

(Edit: Yep, pretty sure the registration/login/demo stuff isn't working. My 'demo' app has been saved but when I log in I can't edit it any more. Would advise fixing/removing quickly lest you anger other users. Good job I only spent 5 minutes on mine!)



1. Theoretically yes. This is probably something we should look into in the future by making links that "time out".

2. You can't have non-renewing subscription in a newsstand magazine. Apple doesn't allow that.

4. Can you hit me with an email - Holger@Uninkd.com - telling me a bit more about what you plan to do. Would love to see if we'd be a good fit.

Which browser are you using? We still have a bit of issues with Firefox (we suggest chrome).

What did you do with the login/demo? Clicked "Try Demo" and and signed up in the upper right corner?
