The hackers and designers bulletin 04

The H&D Bulletin is an occasional publication that brings together practical and reflective articles, conversations, scripts and manuals, experimental, poetic, visual, or otherwise speculative contributions from H&D coop members, critical friends, guests, and participants of our activities.

The bulletins are published on the H&D website, and the H&D mailing list, and circulated via our social media channels. Printed versions are distributed through the H&D network whenever there is an opportunity.

This edition of the H&D bulletin was assembled, edited and designed using ChattyPub, an experimental publishing tool developed by H&D. ChattyPub is built on top of open-source team chat application Zulip. The content for the publication is created by sending messages to dedicated chat channels. Simple CSS rules are also written in the form of chat messages and can be applied to content by reacting to the respective message with the emoji associated with that CSS rule. As such, the publication-in-the-making, can be created and designed collectively.
