On collaborative zines

Countdown clocks, zines, and an imagined website from 2001 (Interconnected)

There’s a website from 2001 for making zines with your friends that, at this point, only exists in my head, if it ever existed honestly, but I wish it were in the world, because in this age of WhatsApp and Slack and whatever, we need it

I love Matt Webb’s idea for a collaborative web zine with a defined publishing schedule. The first website we built, way back in the 90s, followed that model complete with issues and deadlines. It didn’t need to, but we were coming from the world of print and hadn’t yet learned to produce any other way.
