Features
The whole small press, in one room.
Writing, sending, publishing, selling memberships and hosting a community. Nine parts that work as one, without plugins or glue.
01 · Editor
An editor that feels like a good notebook
Type, and the page looks like the finished thing. Press slash for figures, footnotes, pull quotes and a members-only break. Drafts save every few seconds and keep a full history.
- Real typography with drop caps and pull quotes
- Slash commands and Markdown shortcuts
- Version history and shareable draft links
- Co-editing for Pro and Studio teams
02 · Email
Letters that reach the inbox, not the promotions tab
We handle sender reputation, authentication and bounces so you don't have to learn what any of that means. Send now, schedule, or send to a segment.
- Dedicated sending for lists over 10,000
- Segments by tier, tag, location or activity
- Welcome series and automations
- Plain-text version generated for you
03 · Web publication
A web edition that looks like a magazine
Every letter is also a page with a permanent link, in an archive readers can search. Sections, an about page and a subscribe page come ready, and readers can follow along in the app.
- Fast pages with no ads and no trackers
- Sections, series and a searchable archive
- Search-friendly links and share images
- Free and members-only posts side by side
04 · Paid tiers & offers
Memberships priced the way you want
Monthly, yearly, founding tiers, pay-what-you-want and gifts. Run a limited offer for a launch, give students a fair rate, or let readers try a fortnight free.
- Unlimited tiers on Pro and Studio
- Percent, fixed-price and free-trial offers
- Gift memberships with a printable card
- Payouts to your bank twice a month
05 · Community
A room where readers talk to each other
Threads for members, a weekly open thread, reading groups and Ask-me-anything days. Moderation is gentle and fast: pin, lock, hide and hand the keys to a trusted reader.
- Members-only or open threads
- Reading groups with a schedule
- Moderator roles and a calm report queue
- Email digests of what readers said
06 · Referrals
Let your best readers do the recommending
Give every reader a personal link and reward them as their friends sign up. Set the milestones yourself: a month of membership, a signed print, a founding year.
- Personal links and a reader leaderboard
- Rewards that unlock automatically
- Recommend other publications on Issue
- Fraud checks on every referral
07 · Analytics
Numbers that tell you what to write next
See which posts bring readers in, which ones turn them into members, and where they drift away. No invasive tracking: we count what matters and nothing more.
- Opens, clicks and upgrades per post
- Revenue, churn and cohorts
- Sources: website, referrals, Discover, imports
- Exports to CSV any time
08 · Custom domain
Your name on the door
Connect a domain you own in two steps. We issue the certificate, keep it renewed and send your letters from your own address.
- Domain and sender address on Pro
- Certificates issued and renewed for you
- Redirects from your old addresses
- Bring your own wordmark and colours
09 · Imports
Move in an afternoon
Upload the CSV export from your current newsletter tool. We map the columns, reconnect paid members and bring your archive with its original dates.
- Subscribers, members, posts and comments
- Duplicate and bounce clean-up
- A migration editor for lists over 25,000
- Free on every plan
Every feature, on every plan that needs it.
Starter covers the essentials for free. Pro opens up the domain, community and offers. Studio is for teams.
