Congrats, @ilikevests. As the founder of Wufoo and former YC partner, others probably expected you to build a pure software product. Why start a physical magazine?

Talk about shaking up an old file cabinet industry! This one happens to be super important because sci fi is lots of creators actually think through what the future could actually be like. I'm really psyched to see what Kevin and Danny put together here.

Love the illustrations and blend of speculative fiction! I'll have to pick one up for myself. 👍

Yeah, that art is killer ⚡️✨

Subscribed! Got to admin, I am not sure this is quite my world, but very much looking forward to explore and to find out. Do we really have to wait so long? :) Good luck, Kevin!

Love this! Amazing domain as well. With YC, you had a system for how you'd evaluate and discover gems in the rough. Curious how you're thinking about the content curation process (especially when taking submissions) or if you have some heuristics already. What are you looking for? With Commaful, we had some editorial influence early on and found that there was often a tradeoff between creative or literary genius vs. what would be popular with the mainstream audience and get shared all over the web. How are you putting yourself in front of the best illustrators and creators and convincing them to submit (vs. to a more well known pub or lit mag)? A big barrier most new literary magazines run into.

Congrats!!! So excited for this. I am a huge believer, because I believe that old industries like publishing are in great need of innovation! (That's part of why I'm building Beek). What are you guys most excited about with this new venture?

Looks like a fantastic product!

*drool* - Beautiful art work, fonts, color palette. Very excited for you guys!!! :) Will you be working with changing artists for different pieces or do you plan to have a team in house?

Subscribed! I've been looking forward to a magazine that speaks my language for a while now :D
