The goofy low-res UI buttons reminds me of various kids art programs I used to spend way too much time with back in the Windows 3.1 days. This rules.

I think I got a little sea sick reading through that landing page and: I liked it.

That was so '90s, I just looked down and I'm wearing overalls and Doc Martens.

The UI aesthetic is incredibly Gameboy Camera. That's a GOOD thing!

this is SO adorable. I'm making my kid and her BFF do a cat zine for their holiday homework this morning. THERE IS A POTATO.

Thanks for this! Recently got into zines and OMG that website is a flashback. Literally.

I can report 90 minutes of dead-serious work involving Tumblr-pictures of cats, a mock-interview about themselves as cats and a first issue of their Cat Zine that involved two editorial arguments and hurt feelings reconciled over how great they decided the issue looked.
