Could Gideros be used to make a Magazine - would this be practical / usable?

Hi guys

Just wondering how practical it would be to use Gideros to develop a magazine style app. I'm thinking something that could be downloaded once, then new issues could be added.

I know there are several editor for this type of thing, such as inDesign and numerous magazine makers, but I wonder if Gideros could do the same - especially now with HTML5 export?

OR, would it be better just to with plain html - better for search engines (since it will also be on the web).

What do you guys think?

Whilst possible I think it would take a load of work. I haven't looked at how Gideros handles web pages, maybe that could be used?

@antix - yeah I agree, I think I will just go with plain html format. Just throwing around some ideas

edit : just realized I posted this in the wrong thread... I'll leave the comment but will also put it in the Gideros Jam thread, which is more promotion related : http://giderosmobile.com/forum/discussion/6545/gideros-game-jam-who-would-be-interested#Item_8

Hi,
I just wanted to propose something regarding the promotion of Gideros.
I've checked and there's a subreddit for it at http://reddit.com/r/gideros with only 3 posts...

I think that if we could put some juicy material there, such as @antix or @billydb blogs along with news and even the posts we read there, it would be fairly easy to attract people from other related subs (gamedevs, androidgaming, etc...)

Just a thought....
