Technically these features have been available in the beta for a while now, but I officially rolled out v1.1 of the #ZineArranger to itch.io last night!
I think this includes a few fixes & adjustments that were not in the beta version, but otherwise it's mostly similar in functionality.

I finally printed & assembled @adornesibley 's zine from #OddSizedZineJam -- it's really good! I love that they made folding the zine part of the experience itself -- it's really clever & well-done.
When I was designing the 1/64th size feature for #ZineArranger, I figured it would mostly be a novelty, good for silly little random zine, but this one proves that even this tiny format can still create a deeper experience!!

The #ZineArranger v1.1 Beta is now live! Check it out, make some teeny-tiny zines, and lemme know if you run into any mistakes.
I'm still planning on hosting a zine jam in May. I just need to figure out when it should run.
Here's the link to the beta version:

I think the #ZineArranger v1.1 beta is gonna be ready to go live tomorrow!
I'm not sure how to set up an alternate beta-testing channel on itch.io, especially with an in-browser application, so I'm just going to make a page for the beta version on my website & link to it

the big #ZineArranger update is ready for testing & coming together. since there are so many combinations of settings and so much room for mistakes in each specific situation, I'm thinking about doing like, a little beta? maybe combined with a "odd-sized zine jam" where we make zines using some of the new arrangements & then people can report back if something isn't working?

someone on the #ZineArranger comments inquired about an option for a 1/16th sized zine & at first I was like "oh no, that's gonna be hard to implement" (which yes, kinda true), but then I decided I'd at least look into it.
after looking at some 1/16th-size templates, I realized the pattern is actually pretty simple... it's basically just stringing all of the pages around the sheet in a worm/labyrinth type pattern, with a couple of 'rules' that make things fold correctly!

working on adding new features to the #ZineArranger & I'm excited about them--it's making me want to make some zines specifically to utilize them.
It's also making me realize there are a lot of formats the ZineArranger can already do that I haven't even made zines of yet -- top-folds, landscape orientation zines, and the weird folding style I had to come up with to make an 1/8th size minizine open along the skinny edge!

I used to have a source code bundle available for download on the itch page for #ZineArranger (https://nashhigh.itch.io/zinearranger), but it's been getting more downloads than seems right, and I think people might be getting confused and thinking the "Download Now" button is for downloading their formatted zine.
Since free downloads on itch's site can show certain users malicious ads, I've taken the source down & moved it to GitHub: https://github.com/romadox/zine-arranger
(for now anyway, until I move off of GitHub)

I just released v1.0 of my zine layout tool for PDFs, The #ZineArranger!
Now you can do half size/quarter size/minizines with your choice of portrait/landscape, single sided or double, side fold or top fold, plus custom paper sizes!

I've run #ZineArranger tests for all 14 different formats & double checked them -- next up is to print & assemble, & then we might be getting close to being ready to launch the update!
I still need to add buttons to set the aspect ratios for US Letter & A4, but that should be easy -- the actual aspect ratio stuff is all programmed, so they'll just need to change some variables.
-
Working on the new orientation/layout options for #ZineArranger -- it's going well, we've got the bones of it... but I just realized that page rotation will vary based on how the booklet unfolds, so I've gotta go through every case & figure out how pages need to be rotated
-
I'm working on adding portrait/landscape & booklet opening direction options to #ZineArranger & gosh my head is just spinning trying to keep track of all these possible configurations & how they affect the page layout @_@
