# Why Hugo-Sandpoints over other platforms
|
|
|
|
|
|
Journal features for a visitor/contributor
|
|
- Journal **contributions are natively digital** (and thus can include material that cannot be printed or accomodated in PDF, e.g. a/v files and other attachments, hyperlinks, and embedded iframes). This is unlike most journals, including the OJS platform where the articles are downloadable PDF files (not available to read online).
|
|
- Contributions **can be rendered into interactive, and printable PDFs** (the same for whole issues, and the whole journal, including in these cases interactive TOC).
|
|
- Features a **[library] that can host all kinds of ebook formats, and also ZIP files**, for example of playable or other software. Library items can be cited and referenced from journal entries.
|
|
- Sandpoints has **3-level parenting** for organizing content, here Journal>Issue>Article, while Articles are associated with Contributors, and Issues with Editors. All content can be viewed in the [sitemap](/).
|
|
- **No proprietary software is required by authors** for submitting articles (e.g. Word; although Word files can be converted to Markdown).
|
|
- **Mobile friendly, lightweight, and fast.**
|
|
|
|
Platform features
|
|
- The whole journal platform is purposefully built as **open infrastructure for experimental collaborative publishing**.
|
|
- **All components are open source, all workflows** to run/maintain the journal or contribute content **are open** and don't require proprietary software, from either editors or contributors.
|
|
- Static websites are **lightweight, fast, and resilient**. They don't require any server-side processing (PHP), since they are explicit HTML (content), and CSS (styling) files, which is neither costly (as processing or download size) for the website visitor.
|
|
- Hugo sites are easy to maintain.
|
|
- Low overhead compared to other platforms (the current website is about 40mb excluding the library).
|
|
- Backup and collaboration achieved via Git.
|
|
- Fully customizable, and much easier to do so compared to Wordpress (both as styling and functionality).
|
|
- Sandpoints is a non-commercial project by developer and former academic Marcell Mars, for to open and experimental publishing; who is very supportive (providing help and support, and also is hosting the website and its repository on his server)
|
|
- Sandpoints was already implemented in a few projects, including the [Journal Dotawo](https://pages.sandpoints.org/dotawo/journal/) since issue 7, and the [ACADIA conference archive](https://pages.sandpoints.org/sandpoints/acadiaarchive-46619c43/archive/acadia/) which includes 3.500 entries.
