Robin Good's insight:
Lucidpress is a web app which allows you to design, layout, format and publish most any type of document or publication without needing to buy an expensive software program.
The key advantage of Lucidpress is that it offers one editing environment to prepare both print and digital publications for the web or mobile devices.
Final work can be exported to high quality PDF files, or to JPG, PNG or PDF files for individual pages.
Lucidpress integrates with Google Drive and it allows to easily import texts, images as well as video clips from YouTube.
My comment: There is certainly a need for an easy-to-use web-based design environment for pubs of all kinds which Lucidpress attempts to intercepts. The design app is quite powerful and well designed but unless you are a designer you are going to be disappointed with the results. Available templates are few and very old-fashioned. This is probably the area where Lucidpress has the maximum opportunity for improvement. Integrating quality design into the service and non-design customers will do the rest.
Free to use.
