(re)Introducing Windows Platform Developer Magazine

Almost a year ago, I decided to test the waters on a new feature of my (then) favorite iPad app: Flipboard. Flipboard is still one of my favorite apps on the iPad, and I also use it on Android and Windows 8. Flipboard was basically my favorite way to read all the articles gathered under my own Google Reader, with everything neatly organized like a magazine layout. Flipboard has evolved beyond its RSS roots, especially given the closure of Google Reader. I now use Feedly instead, but Flipboard doesn’t integrate with it. You can still add individual RSS feeds to Flipboard however.

Flipboard also offered article feeds from well known news sources, and later introduced a feature to curate your own magazines, and then share them with the world. Not only limited to mobile devices (especially tablets), Flipboard announced last year that Flipboard Magazines could now be enjoyed on the web.

I decided to experiment with the idea and launched my first Flipboard magazine: Windows Phone Developer– featuring news,  tips, and techniques for mobile developers passionate about Windows Phone. The launch “issue” included 66 articles from the past month, covering Windows Phone both the end user and the developer point of view. The months went buy, the magaine grew with more articles and more readers and I can honestly say that so far this has been a successful experiment:

• Over 300 articles!
• Over 48,000 readers!!
• Over 1 million page flips!!!

Today I am re-branding and re-launching my Flipboard magazine for a new world of Universal Windows apps for phones, tablets, laptops, desktops & other Windows devices. Introducing:
