Making e-zines in Decker is great! And making print zines is great too! But what if you could make a zine that's both?

I've made a template that you can use to make an 8-page zine that's readable in Decker and will export to a printable format in the traditional single sheet 8 page fold format at the click of a button. There's a few options to adjust the margins, since printers are messy and America has funny page sizes, but hopefully the defaults should work for most people.

Since I want to encourage people to make their own zines with this template, I'm running a jam as well! It starts in a few days and it's like 6 weeks long so there's plenty of time if you want to make something for it!

Let me know what you think!

Hell yes!!! Thank you for bringing Decker into the physical world, let a thousand ditherzines bloom

Quick bugfix, PDF exports should keep custom palettes now!

Sorry if you'd already started, but replacing the code in the "save pdf" button should sort it for you if you don't want to start from scratch!

I've wanted something like this for Decker since I discovered it! Thanks for making this! Here's a pretty basic example of a zine made using this program.

Jam is open for submissions, and there's already a couple in (since getting a headstart is OK)

Looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with!
