Latheal Posted 8 January, 2014 Posted 8 January, 2014 Couldn't see any Saints related magazines on there so created one myself. Available here http://flip.it/mLmkJ if people are interested and uses Flipboard. If you like it, please tweet out the link to stop me spamming #saintsfc! Also, if anybody feels like contributing, let me know and I'll provide access. You basically just press an extra button when browsing the web and it automatically adds it in. For those that don't know what flipboard is, it basically takes web pages and turns it into a nice looking digital magazine.
SaintBobby Posted 8 January, 2014 Posted 8 January, 2014 Wowser. That looks fantastic. Had never heard of flipboard before - nice job!
Latheal Posted 8 January, 2014 Author Posted 8 January, 2014 Thanks, but can't take credit, the software does all the hard stuff. All I have to do is find it!
Saint-Armstrong Posted 8 January, 2014 Posted 8 January, 2014 That's a nice little set up, I remember coming across it on iPad - it looks good on there too! I'd suggest using some higher res pictures, if you're in control of that.
Latheal Posted 8 January, 2014 Author Posted 8 January, 2014 Don't get to control res, they are just scanned from the web site the articles are on. Get to choose whether there is a pic or not, and the cover page. Will see what else can add to it, a twitter feed might/might not be good if it can be integrated.
NY Saint Posted 8 January, 2014 Posted 8 January, 2014 Nice, does it auto populate articles or do you have to manually submit?
Essruu Posted 8 January, 2014 Posted 8 January, 2014 Flipboard is awesome. I use it all the time for lots of subjects. If you use an iPad, you're missing out big time if you don't use Flipboard.
johnnyboy Posted 8 January, 2014 Posted 8 January, 2014 love it and have subscribed , perfectully acceptable on my nexus 4 , does the content update itself automatically every time I open it ( sorry to be a dumb ass !)
latter day saint Posted 8 January, 2014 Posted 8 January, 2014 nice one. use Flipboard all the time at work so i don't go mad listening to inane ramblings of my co-workers
Latheal Posted 9 January, 2014 Author Posted 9 January, 2014 Thanks for the support guys. Only got three posts so will try and answer all questions! NY Saint, manual upload, so it will probably only be updated in evenings next week when I go back to work after my 3 week Xmas break! Jonny boy, it should auto update every time you open it. Not sure how it works on a Nexus but on Ipad, after I've added something, it shortly appears on the magazine. Think you have to click on "subscribe" to get the updates though. Still having issues with auto uploading of twitter so leaving it out for now. Thanks again for the support. Over 400 people have used it since last night which is pretty incredible.
