Marquee

I work with the team over at http://narrative.ly/ and have always been really impressed with the format, layout and readability of the site. I then happened to notice that they used Marquee. Similar but not exactly the same as exposure.so -> http://www.producthunt.com/posts...

@katrina feel free to jump in here and discuss how you and your team built Marquee.

Hey! Thanks so much for the kind words, Tom. We feel really fortunate that we've gotten to work with some great publishers like Narratively and, most recently, the Wilson Quarterly (part of the Wilson Center). Every project we've worked on has been a great way for us to work through real-world challenges faced by organizations working on in-depth narratives, and incorporate those lessons into the core Marquee product. Our team has been pretty heads down over the past few years as we've worked to build out our vision for a modern publishing platform. We've gone from a pretty simple Markdown-Dropbox app in early 2011 to a suite of editorial tools backed by a flexible content API and some great development tools. I'm happy to answer any questions about our product or how we went about building it.

Hey @katrina! I've loved your products over the years. Where do you see Marquee going in the future?

Very cool. What's the pricing structure?

Thanks so much, @GeoffreyWeg! Up until now in order to use Marquee we've either given access to a very limited personal plan (which was free) or provided access for clients who have retained us to build custom sites on top of our platform. Because we're a really small team of only 5 people, we've decided that we can be most effective by focusing on solutions for organizations instead of providing a consumer-level product for individuals. The platform will be gradually opened up for publishers, developers, and web agencies to build their own projects on Marquee using the same tools we do (all of our development tools are released into the public domain). We're in the process of finalizing our dev docs and starting to discuss how to structure things with third-party developers who have shown interest. If anyone on Product Hunt is interested in learning more about building on top of Marquee, you can contact us at hello@marquee.by.

@katrina super cool! also a fan of what you've built. what inspired you to build Marquee / have a vision of what the modern publishing platform will look like?
