Scrolls · WEISS.PRESS

Colin, this is something new I’ve been building called WEISS.PRESS. It’s made to read easily on a tablet. I’m practicing the automation behind it. Later I want to use it for project management and for delivering information in a very curated way. Consider this an early test.

Take a look at this whenever scrollprize.org/winners.

I think you would be impressed… look how this is being managed and also look at the donors, lots of interesting people… they each have their own landing page…
