What you get
Built like a publication, connected like a network
Everything a writer needs to run a newsletter-style publication on the open web, and nothing that gets in a reader’s way.
Issues, not posts
Each piece is an issue with a cover, a section, topics and a contents list for the long ones.
Replies that stay civil
Readers answer with only a name. Every guest reply is read before it is shown.
Subscribe by RSS
Every publication has its own feed. No inbox, no sign-up box, no algorithm in between.
Your publication page
One address readers can come back to
Your page opens with a cover and your portrait, then your issues as a clean stream of cards. Tabs lead to your sections and your story; a single button lets anyone subscribe by RSS.
- Pinned introduction. Greet new readers with your own start-here note and links.
- Sections. Group issues by subject so the archive stays easy to browse.
- Your website. Link out to your own home on the web.
For readers
Readers don’t need a login. Ever.
Open any publication and read the whole archive. Reply with a name if something moves you. Subscribe with the feed reader you already use. That is all there is to it.
- Every issue free, with no paywall or sign-up wall
- No cookies for readers, no analytics, no ad networks
- Fast, plain pages that read well on a phone
- Clean typesetting for Vietnamese and other accented text
