Your publication, on your domain
A The Open Times publication is a real website. Posts render at your domain, the archive belongs to you, and no host decides what the page looks like or who is allowed to reach it.
Long-form and short-form in one place
The composer switches between a social post and a full essay. Long pieces get a title, a slug and an archive entry, and they go live on your site the moment you publish.
Your domain from the first post
Nothing is served from a platform subdomain, so the links you share today keep working if you move hosts, change tools, or stop using The Open Times entirely.
Templates you can actually edit
The page templates are files in your project. Change the layout, the type and the colour, then redeploy. There is no theme marketplace and no approval step.
More features
- 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.
