Features
Everything The Open Times does, and how each part works.
- Publications Write long-form posts to a publication you own, at your own domain, with nothing sitting between you and the page.
- Newsletter Publishing a post emails it to your subscribers. The web page and the send are one action, not two tools.
- Paid subscriptions Turn on paid tiers, mark posts subscriber-only, and take payment straight into your own Stripe account.
- Discover Publications on the Open Times network recommend each other, so new readers arrive through someone they already trust.
- Comments Threaded comments under every piece, open to the readers you choose, moderated by you and stored with your posts.
- Import Move posts, subscribers and paid subscriptions across in one import, without asking a single reader to sign up again.
- Crossposting Announce what you publish everywhere at once, or post to Bluesky, X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Threads and Mastodon on their own.
- Scheduling Schedule posts ahead in your own timezone and let the queue publish them, or send immediately.
- Per-network variants Override the text for any single network without maintaining six separate drafts of the same post.
- Analytics Subscriber growth, revenue and per-network engagement against the posts that caused them, in one view.
- Bulk delete Delete every post from a connected account, on the networks whose APIs allow it, with a preview first.
- Own everything Your posts, your subscribers, your revenue and your access tokens all live in a database you run. There is no vendor in the middle.
