I would be happy to help with leanpub. With regards to pretty
much anything.
Ok so here is the thing about leanpub. You control the manifest.
You can then once published do what ever you want with the
generated files.
For a magazine or book leanpub is great.
If you really want to go the paid blog route, I'm sure we could
kit out our own Markua (markdown) to html in worse case
scenario.
Heh, I think you've missed the point of what I've written a bit:
I'd _never_ publish a book or magazine, even if it wasn't in
print but primarily online. I consider that almost as bad as
telling me to write it on a parchment scroll
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scroll). ;) I'd only publish on a
tech blog where I control the source and could continuously add
paid blogging features like those mentioned previously, which
almost nobody is doing today. As such, I find no use for an
external platform like leanpub.
It wouldn't take much effort to set up a paid blog based on
vibe.d, one which you could add new features to over time. The
issue is that I'd have to find D devs who want to write for it,
as I'm not the right person to write about D (I'd probably edit
articles and run the tech/business side).
I've been thinking about contacting various D devs to see how
much interest there is- I mentioned that I contacted one guy
already- but I wasn't sure if I myself wanted to put time into
this. I really want to put these paid blogging ideas into use
one day, but maybe D isn't the place to do it.
