I really like this. Reminds me of ezines and webzines. However, I'm tempted to ask - how to comfortably read this on a computer if you don't have a reasonably good vision? Either you have to scroll up and down to follow the content, or you see whole page at once, but need to squint to read contents.
Agreed! If we went full latex, it could be make a two way like arxiv recently did with html5 rendering of latex
Sadly that's not doable for us. LaTeX, for all its benefits, has terrible user experience and would drive away a lot of authors. One of the benefits of using PDFs is that anyone can use almost any tool they feel comfortable with to make the article (except for Photoshop - we banned Photoshop PDFs because they are ridiculously constructed). For example, I use Google Slides for my articles (which seems like a weird choice, but it's so easy to do complex one-of formatting in it).
That is a reasonable tradeoff for sure. I’m still thinking what could we do to improve readibility on mobile devices though
