Greetings Journal of Brief Ideas

I have a very brief idea for you, yet I could not find how to submit, so I am sending it here.

New Journal that Supports Interactive Graphics

There are new technologies like HoloViz that allows embedding interactive content in a paper. However, there are no venues that will provide the scientific citation tools like a DOI. I currently am looking for such a venue for a modeling paper and could not find one after looking for a few weeks. I tried major publishers and many other leads and only found out these distill, visxai, parametric press, f1000research, zenodo. Yet non were compatible due to format or field.

It would be great if there would be a Scientific Journal for interactive papers.

The distill format is great where html files hold the data and the review is public on github. What the Journal needs is just an editorial board to define the format and rules and the ability to serve the html file an assign a DOI. This is relatively easy to do with modern technology.
