Ask HN: Best UI/UX Experience for Articles on the Web

max_ · 2 years ago

On editors. ------------- My favourite user experience is the https://telegra.ph editor.

The https://medium.com editor also has a great writing experience.

These two executed a page editor so well i.e very low cognitive load and intuitive editing. .............................

What is missing? - Organisation of drafts (https://obsidian.md does this best)

- A decent mobile app, desktop app & web app that work well offline (https://obsidian.md also does this well)

- Ability to export to another platform (https://obsidian.md also does this well)

- Collaboration.

- Latex Support

- Mermaid Support

- Support for Idyll

- Support for embedded items i.e interactive charts.

--------------------------------

But here is the kind of platform that is really missing.

If I wanted to start a trade journal, niches news site or publication, digest. Like The Economist, Quanta, Architectural Digest, Deezen.

There is really not "go to" platform that caters for all these needs out of the box.

People often have to struggle with badly done custom solutions.

Try monsterwriter. It supports academic features (footnotes, cross-references, citations, captions...) and it supports export to HTML, LaTeX, PDF

Why reinvent the wheel? Just put it in substack or whatever and focus on delivering content (your differentiator hopefully)

This isn't a profit endeavour, it's an academic and learning experience.
