Good question. We haven't looked so much into that yet, but we'd love to hear ideas.

All your issues articles, are available online via uninkd as well. So when people share an article on Facebook or Twitter, they'll share a link to the online article.

When it comes to analytics, we haven't implemented anything yet. It is something we want to do in the near future though and for now, we could give you access to and App Annie account where you can see all the analytics on the app you could wish for.

Ah, yeah, that's the dealkiller for us -- we don't want our content duplicated online. Too bad, we were looking at it.

Code is not written in stone. Let us know what you're needs are and we'll see what we can do.

We are still developing the product and we have been thinking about making it optional.

What's stopping people from doing it online, is that there is no one place where people can browse and read all of your issues and articles. There is no "directory" for your magazine.

The reason we are not implementing a signup when reading articles, is that it would make it impossible for your magazine to be shared. People want to share what they read and they often have friends who are interested in the same things. Those friends are all potential subscribers and it would be a big barrier for them if they had to subscribe in the app before they could read a single article.

Sounds like adding a 'publish articles online?' control might be worth it!

Yup!

I agree. What's stopping someone from just reading my article on Uninkd.com versus subscribing on a device?

If the subscription also allowed a user to view the articles online, I'd be fine with that.

So if someone links to one of my articles online, will those linked to the article have to have a subscription to view it?

As it is now... no.

We think it's too much of a barrier if people have to sign in to read a single article.

There won't be a single place where people can find all of your articles though. They will only be visible through people who share them.

Enabling people to easily share and let their friends read a single article gives your magazine a chance to spread.
