hey yuchi- I talked to the Substance guys just a few days ago. Great guys. We hope to collaborate with them soon. I am not sure why Authorea is not "ethical" though. Ciao!

I have to clarify that I should have said ‘enough’ :) And ‘ethical’ could be not the most accurate term for this but here’s my take on this. In the scientific world there’s so much closed software, so much closeness. A real revolution (and I’m sure you’re pushing it too as much as Substance) should be in the open world, as a whole. I do understand that monetization must happen somewhere, but I’m scared to see such a revolution happen on a closed platform.

Disclaimer #1: I had the chance to work with the Substance guys but I’m not affiliated with them anymore.

Disclaimer #2: Diamine, non avevo notato che fossi italiano. Damn, I didn’t notice that you are italian. Such a pleasure.

piacere mio!
