This is awesome. I noticed the digital and print price was about the same and saw this in the FAQ:

    Q. Will you create an interactive HTML 5/Ubuntu/Android/iOS/Windows 
       8 appfor digital magazine delivery?

    A. We will get our magazine onto digital storefronts straight away.
       And we have ambitious plans for our own app - one where our community 
       becomes part of the editorial. But to start with, we need to focus on 
       getting our new magazine out of our heads and into your hands. We’ll 
       then be able to invest in our other ideas.
It would be really cool if they put out a nice interactive html5 app for viewing the digital version, and then open sourced it for the readers to make better (and for other magazines to use).

That's the plan (including open sourcing the app). We've just got to get the magazine up and running first.

How long do you think until it's available to buy? I like the idea, but I'm impatient. I'd buy it tonight if I could.

Well you can buy it tonight on indiegogo [1].

We expect to be in the shops in the uk in February 2014 (and we'll ship physical or digital copies to the rest of the world then). We hope to be in newsagents and book stores world wide not long after that, but it will depend on our distributors.

The price is the same, but for a different period.

The digital subscription is 35ukp for 12 months, and UK physical subscription is also 35ukp but only covers 6 months.
