More than 2.5 million user-made magazines have been created since Flipboard 2.0 was launched in March of this year. Now Flipboard is moving from mobile devices to the web by launching full HTML 5.0 versions of its magazines. Unlike Flipboard 2.0’s magazines, the newest version will work on any browser connected to the Internet. Whether on mobile or desktop, users will have full access to select Flipboard magazines.
The interface will feel familiar to Flipboard’s established users, as the app’s tried-and-true card flipping translates well to large computer screens. Magazines will also automatically resize based on the size of the screen and window, showing either a full page or a single article based on whatever fits. The site lets users flip through pages using the spacebar or arrow keys, the way users would use a finger on an iPad screen. For now, only a small editorially curated list of magazines is available online.
