The Hague, The Netherlands - Javascript developer at H5mag Publishing Platform - h5mag.com - ONSITE
H5mag is the platform to create beautiful online magazines. We're aimed at graphic designers — who often are still focused on print media and have almost no online design experience — and enable them to create responsive online interactive magazines. Our platform makes something that for them used to be almost impossible, magically easy — and the enthusiasm we receive from our users is extremely rewarding.
Technically: the H5mag editor is basically a big Javascript web app. Our backend is a relatively simple data store/rendering layer written in PHP/MySQL.
Some concrete things we want you to work on in the coming period...
* Improve the performance of our editor and reader front-end, eliminate relayouts and repaints
* Make our users happy with new, often requested features, such as guides &amp; grids and undo/redo
* Develop improvements for our editor, such as a new edition management UX and new styling widgets
* Work with us on a system for real-time collaborative editing
* Want to know what moves our users? Participate in our designer workshops and discover their needs.
We're still a small team of developers and UX designers, so you have quite the opportunity to make your mark. Want to know more? Shoot off an email to me: joost [dot] schuttelaar [at] h5mag.com and I'd be happy to share!
