Hello, I am new to this stuff and am finding this quite difficult to follow. Is this the only way to get the zine so it can be read/viewed online properly? Not trying to be critical or anything like that, just honestly kinda lost here.
Hi, Electric Zine Maker allows you to export as a PDF, which is great for sharing person to person but not as easy to host online etc. I made this so you can just drop in your saved images from EZM and have a nice looking and feeling digital booklet anyone can read. It's not exclusive or anything. Anyone is free to make their own app or website or whatever to show off their zines however they please. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to help.
i copied over my pages without changing the file name and the reader is still blank? i checked the script and the page names match the ones in the ezmreader file but im not sure why they're not showing up
-update- i downloaded the older script and the old one works, but for the new one all the pages seem to be blank
Hi, I tested it on the most recent version of EZM and everything still seems to be working as it should. Are you testing it on your local machine? Modern browsers don't let you load local resources such as images for security reasons. Have you tried uploading the project to an itch.io test page to see if it works there?

Using the older script was also my only way of getting this to work also, if anyone else is having issues.
