Good idea, but I think for a 'show HN' there should be actually more to show than just some slogans. Any plans for cross-platform publishing? Google Play has magazines now as well (as does Amazon): https://play.google.com/about/magazines/index.html

I know, I know. We are not showing a full product here, or even a half one. We are getting in touch with the people who are interested in publishing a Newsstand Magazine.

We're gonna start with iOS and see where that takes us.

I think you should have had some demo or something ready before you published it to HN. I really like the graphics and style, can't wait to see how your program works!

You might be right. I'll keep that in mind for next time.

Hit us with an email and we'll keep you in the loop.

After reading your comments it seems that you are mostly trying to get in touch with people interested in your project/idea. It's been a long time since I sent an email to a service to register or at least show interest.

Why not add a field to add my email info as most launchrock pages do? It would be a lot easier than copy/pasting your target email address to email you.

(EDIT: You might also want to use a dedicated email address for your project instead of one based on you HN tag, mainly because I want to remember why you are writing me back later if you do and your address should provide that which it does not)

Very true. To be honest, something went wrong in our backend, just as we posted, so the email form field didn't work. So we had to go old school with email.

Well this was a disappointment... Well, this was a disappointment... Well, this, was a disappointment...

Is this going to take my blog RSS and create a magazine, like Google Currents (and others), or is this a Wordpress plugin, or is this an AuthorHouse like publishing model, ...

I feel http://uninkd.com/ jumped a bit too soon on show and tell.

But why sign up now to your email? You have already lost me in the sales loop. You made a compelling statement but the followup was lacking.

This would be like me, while driving, seeing a sign that said "free food and drink, come on by". I pull off (because I am hungry), go into the store and ask about the free food/drink. The staff says "We're still developing the concept, give me your phine number and we'll keep you in the loop". Still hungry, I go elsewhere and ignore those free food/drink signs.

Thanks for the feedback. Will definitely do that the next time.
