Publish
A publishing platform that doesn't need 56 plugins to send an email. Built-in comments, subscriptions, and identity — no duct tape required. WordPress is quaking. (WordPress is not actually quaking. But we hear the internet talking... we're not sure why.)
We're calling it the WordPress Killer.
Legally we have to add "aspirationally."
WordPress powers 43% of the internet. The other 57% is powered by WordPress but with a different theme and a $200/yr "page builder" subscription. Publish is what you'd build if you started from scratch in 2026 and had the audacity to make it simple.
The features. All of them.
No upsell tiers.
Closed beta means you're getting in early, not getting in half-baked. Here's what's shipping.
Comments
Threaded, moderated, human-verified comments — no Disqus, no loading a third-party script that phones home to seventeen ad networks. Your readers' snarky opinions belong to you.
Built-in · No PluginSubscriptions
Email subscriptions with actual deliverability. Not "we technically send the email and if it lands in spam that's between you and God." Readers subscribe, you write, they receive it. Revolutionary concept, apparently.
Built-in · No MailchimpOIDC Connectors
Sign in with Google, GitHub, or whatever your IT department demands — via standard OpenID Connect. One config, any provider, zero custom auth flows written by the intern who left in 2021.
Standards-based · OIDC 1.0Writing That Doesn't Fight You
A distraction-free editor that isn't secretly a block editor powered by a 4MB React bundle. You type words. They appear. You publish. The end.
Markdown · MDX SupportActually Fast
Static-first, CDN-served, no PHP parsing on every page load. Your site will load faster than WordPress loads its admin dashboard, which currently takes longer than some geological epochs.
Edge-rendered · Sub-100msAI-Assisted, Not AI-Haunted
Smart drafting tools without the "our AI wrote this and it confidently stated the capital of France is Brussels" energy. You're the author. The AI is the intern. You're still responsible for the output.
Assist Mode · You Stay In ChargeLimited seats.
Unlimited potential for
mild content drama.
Open Beta access is... coming. We'll want you to use it, break things, and tell us what's wrong. It's basically paid QA except you're not getting paid. We appreciate you.
