Skrolli is a Finnish computer magazine which has been issued quarterly since February 2013. In December 2015 a funding campaign for an international English language edition was launched - the Skrolli International Edition shipped in April 2016.
The magazine's origins lie in an Internet meme which was an image depicting how a cover of an old computer magazine from the 1980s would look like if it dealt with contemporary topics in computing. The editorial staff of the magazine consists around ten active members of the Skrolli community.
The topics of Skrolli consists mainly of those issues which commercial tech-media usually bypasses. The magazine claims that it emphasizes do-it-yourself attitude, a deep expertise with issues covered and "slow journalism" which aims to produce articles which maintain their relevancy for extended time periods.
The editorial staff says that they want to offer a magazine which readers want to own as a physical product and save for years. Despite of this, the issues (except the latest one) can be freely downloaded in PDF format at magazine's website.
