Subscription content platform
A subscription product for creators that handles paywalls, trials, video, audio, and email — without losing 12% of revenue to a generic platform fee.
Creators monetise on platforms that take 12–30% in fees, ban niches at will, and own the audience email list. They want their own house — but building one from scratch is expensive.
- 01
Built the core: paywalled mixed-media posts, trials, gifting, comp access, native email digests — one platform, not five integrations.
- 02
Wired Stripe for billing and Cloudflare Stream for video, so the marginal cost per subscriber is genuinely low.
- 03
Designed search and discovery within the creator's own catalogue — readers find more, churn less.
- 04
Implemented per-post analytics that the creator actually understands: read-through, paid conversions, churn signal.
- 05
Built an email layer that's owned, not rented — creator keeps the list when they leave the platform.
“If the platform owns the audience and takes the rate, the platform is the business.”

Niches stop being deplatformed at random.
