Yes, we'll add more export formats in future to support e-publications. (I'm not going to commit to exactly which ones.) For this initial 1.7 release we chose to coast with our existing PDF because we had so much else to do. We have left a lot of work to do over the coming years.

At this point seems that Publisher is not going to export any HTML-based formats. They are after all very different from traditional layout work.
I would use Jutoh for epub based publishing, simple and reliable tool which generates clean code too.

Even on the amazon KDP site, they recommend importing epub via kindle create rather than PDF due to PDF issues.
ebook (epub) was the first thing i looked for when i opened it, and it's also missing a startup assistant like in pageplus.  The new file -> new is similar to designer, which is fine, the addition of a startup assistant / wizard would be ideal.
Looking at the export option, it looks identical to designer, focused on graphical publications, made they need two export menu options like in PagePlus, one for graphical/print exports one for ebook/html - (epub, PDF (optimised for ebook), apple and kindle (or via epub3) and HTML for sites.

I was so hoping to create ebooks with AP. To discover that is not possible is a dive back to old publishing programs, of which there are many.
The popularity of ebooks is a huge and growing market for self publishers and commercial publishers. What were you thinking guys? 
The name Affinity Publisher held such promise. As you have guessed, this is one long time customer who is very disappointed.

I can not believe there was no export capability to produce an Epub2 file, let alone an eub3 file that meets the Daisy Consortium standards.

I was also looking for it. Creating an epub would be a most important feature for me.

Really need for Publisher to support ePub creation.
 

When they come around to doing it.. do what you've done with PagePlus... add a 2nd export menu option, so it looks like this:
1. Export Print Publishing - As is really, optimal print profile settings as default for User Printing / Print Book Publishing / Printing shops.
2. Export Digital Publishing - epub3, PDF (with digital ebook profile set as default).
PDF will be on both export options, by default set for their respective optimal profile (print v ebook, of course uses can tweak change as is).
 
I won't be buying Publisher until it is released to allow me to create books that i can create then export for Print Press (printing house) and ebooks (epub3 for apple, google and amazon kindle (via converter)) and PDF digital (not high quality print press) for my website.
I'm looking to create a few booklets series that i can have printed and publish via the existing etail platforms.
Why isn't this pinned to the top as it's one of the most sought / expected options.
 

Just adding my voice to this. Ebook formats needed here too.

I'll support common plea - an epub2 export is a must for me, please work on it ASAP!
 
 

Hi Irish14500,
Welcome to the forums  
The apps will be compatible with Mojave. You can find a list of our tested plugins below!

Thanks

Will full support for macOS Mojave dark mode be enabled in the Affinity apps?  I know they can be set to dark, but some UI elements still come up as light... like the File Open, Save As and Print Popups to name a few.

Wow!  I post a simple question, with no implied urgency, and get a snarky, insulting reply.  I own ALL of the Affinity products on both macOS and iOS and am very happy with all of them and have every right to ask a simple question without getting insulted.

I am blown away. It took some time, but the result is great. Kudos to the team

Just want to +1 this. The Affinity team have been excellent at working through the deal-breaking issues that keep me on Illustrator, and I think the lack of a glyph palette might be the final hurdle. C'mon, guys… bring it home! ;-)

The Artistic Text Tool does not display Emoji characters. Please add this to the ATT, thanks
Please see also the attached video, maybe I do something wrong, if so, I appreciate any help and hints.

There will be a public iPad / iPad Pro beta - but not for some time (we've not finished making it yet!)
 
Thanks,
 
Andy.

This is something we support on mobile but not on desktop I'm afraid. I have moved this to Feature Requests as it seems as though it would be more suited to that section. 
 
Thanks

I noticed today when trying to download and save a photo that I had an option of HEIF format - which may be going to become a new "standard".
Out of curiosity I created one, and then tried to open it with Affinity Photo. It seems that AP doesn't handle this format - yet. This may become more important in the future.

Bleed will be visible and working correctly for release. It will also be rolled into a Designer update.

Hi Rick G,
No, If you need a previous software as a reference it would be PagePlus not WebPlus.
Affinity Publisher is not designed to develop/build websites.

The main difference is development are saying it now 

We were previously led to expect the beta this winter and the retail version next summer! Oh well....
 
Edit: I've just seen the 'patience' hashtag on the Twitter page. LOL.
 

And, here a video showing the new rotate-on-plane feature of the Move tool.  A new shape is created into a grid, using the "Edit In Grid Plane" mode.  Then, with the mode on, any rotations maintain the grid plane perspective.

And, here is a video glimpse of some of the improvements coming to the Node tool.
