Summary:

"I’m the maintainer of Substance, an open software platform for collaborative composition and sharing of digital documents. In this little essay, I’d like to sketch the challenges that modern publishing systems face today. I’d also like to come up with ideas for how the complexity can be handled with the help of specialized user-driven software. With Substance, our team is implementing the proposed ideas, not only to verify their feasability but also to release a crowd-funded open source publishing system as a modern alternative to existing publishing solutions... Substance is a content creation tool and a simple multi-format publishing platform. Whether you produce stories, books, documentations or scientific papers, Substance provides the tools that allow you to create, manage and share your content. It is being built with the idea of Open Knowledge in mind. So if you’d like to publish, comment on and collaborate around public documents, open access research or public domain texts, Substance may be for you."
