Thank you Lim Cheng Soon for all the hard work. I ran the same website for well over a decade and I know how it feels when creativity drops away. Consider passing the mantle to someone else to keep the publication going (if there is any interest), I did this and I don't regret it. After an apprentice period that person could then run it by themselves. That way your baby would get another shot at life even if you yourself don't feel like it any more.

Thanks Jacques!

I'm thinking of "open sourcing" Hacker Monthly. The process of making it, the InDesign template I use (and optimized throughout the years), the resources etc. That way, anyone can start their own "Best of HN" magazine or really, any "Best of" magazine.

Wow... I'm just sad I found out about this while it's shutting down. Those layouts are beautiful, and a condensed version of HN is probably just what the doctor ordered. I'm sure you'll find something inspiring to do next with talents like this! Good luck. :)

I think that's the best possible outcome here. I'd be a little worried about having too many options, causing readership of any one to be low, but at the same time, a quality best of HN will most likely float to the top, and if it doesn't, at least there will be choices.

Thats nice. Will be helpful for others to start from where you left.

That would be really cool, let us know if you do please.

Man, that would be super awesome!
