Walden Pond

This site is run by Ben Doherty, in Sydney, Australia. That's why getting something to read in the cafe or on the beach is so important!

If you've got an idea about how to make the zine or the site better, email Ben at ben@waldenpond.press or submit an issue on GitHub.

You can keep an eye on what's going on by following along:

  • The Twitter logoThe twitter bird in a single colour. WaldenPondZine

The site is made out of a mishmash of Jekyll, Firebase, Stripe and Pocket. I wouldn't trust me to handle payments but that's what Stripe are really good at. The same goes for auth and databases with Firebase.

Walden Pond is a printed zine that is full of the bits of the web that you are actually interested in. One way to think of it is as a Pocket client made of paper.
