Recently, on October 24, we held an online event, “Vivliostyle User and Developer Meetup - Fall 2020.”

We live streamed the event on our YouTube channel. Including the day of the event, 446 people watched it until a week later! This is a record number of people since Vivliostyle began, and I can’t help but feel the anticipation and enthusiasm for CSS typesetting.
