The simplicity. It is very quick to create something that is incredibly beautiful

I'd like there to be more freedom in terms of moving items around on Shorthand, as it stands users are quite limited in terms of placement, and this isn't the best thing when using Shorthand to create online magazines.

It's s steep learning curve if you're used to thinking "PRINT" only. But I was able to make the transition, and I've been in the print business for 40 years.
