Alternative Roundup? Blog
2nd January 2024
I found myself wondering if I can compile some kind of "Magazine"..

-=-=-

The plan in my head is rather simple.
A simple PDF that I can collate throughout the month, and render out at the end of each month.
Gather together all the things that I've done, bundle it into a myriad of pages, and automagically form it into some sort of lovely design.

It's that last bit that I'm currently struggling with.
How do I collate everything into an organised layout, without having to do it manually?
My thinking is code, because ... of course it is!!

I know I can create PDFs from webpages. I did that with the Asset Manager. So, then all I *really* need to get working is some way to combine a myriad of elements together into a neatly organised set of pages, such that I can then compile them into a PDF.
Sounds easy, right!?
Hmmm.... :/

I dunno.
Maybe I have better things to work on, right now.
Let me know if you've any suggestions or thoughts on what kind of content I could include in such a pdf file.

Oh, hey, we're back to DrawThings again!
Seems to be behaving itself, though I only just reinstalled it yesterday.
Hopefully that keeps up.
