Submit content
Publish your work on the network
This is a developer co-op, and the content is the members. Anything you publish is live when you publish it, public by default or for members only if you choose. Reading is free for everyone. Publishing is part of Network Supporter membership, at $50/yr.
How it works
-
Write it where you like
The WorkBench on this site holds your articles, projects and prompts, and the editor you write them in. In the browser extension you can post a share directly, and its Submit content button opens the WorkBench editor here for an article, project or prompt. If you work with an AI agent, the MCP server lets it author through the same flow you do.
-
Publish it and it is live
When you publish, your work goes live on the network. There is no approval step in between. The site rebuilds in about 2 to 3 minutes, so give it a moment before you look for it.
-
You choose who reads it
Public is the default. A public piece can be read by anyone and appears in the public feeds. Choose Members only instead and the full piece is kept for members of the network. The choice is yours, piece by piece.
-
It stays yours
You edit a published piece whenever you like, and it keeps the date you wrote it.
What you can submit
Articles, projects and prompts, plus shares, which are links worth reading with a note on why. Your member profile is yours, and so are your comments, which go out as you write them.
Your work lives in your own folder in a public git repository, as plain markdown with its images beside it. You can read it, fork it, and take it with you. Nothing about publishing here signs your work over to us.
What good work here looks like
These five things are what make a piece worth reading here.
- Original work
- Something you made, ran, or worked through yourself.
- Useful to a builder
- Someone building the same kind of thing should come away able to act on it.
- Specific
- Concrete enough to follow. A general overview of a topic is not the same as what you learned doing it.
- Your own product is welcome
- Writing about a project or product of your own is fine, as long as the write-up teaches something.
- Not promotion alone
- A press release, or a post whose only purpose is the link at the bottom, is not a fit.
This is guidance, not a gate. You can rework a piece and publish it again whenever you like.
The revenue program
When a visitor becomes a paying member, the content that brought them in shares the revenue. The author of the earliest piece in their journey earns 30%, the author of the last piece before they joined earns 10%, and 5% goes to a pool shared by the members whose comments and accepted contributions sit on those two pieces. Your profile page counts as an entry point, so a visitor who lands there and later joins credits you with no special link.
Separately, your own invite link pays a flat 10% for the life of anyone who joins through it, funded from the platform's share so it never dilutes what authors earn. You take the larger of the two rather than both.
The split follows visits to a public page, so a public piece can earn from the moment it goes live. Payouts settle after a 90 day hold and arrive through Stripe Connect.

Questions
How soon is my piece live?
As soon as the site rebuilds, which takes about 2 to 3 minutes after you publish. There is no review step in between.
Can I keep a piece for members only?
Yes. Public is the default, and you can choose Members only for any piece you publish. The full piece is then kept for members of the network.
Do I have to publish to be a member?
No. Membership is the community first. Publishing is included, and plenty of members read, comment and take part without writing anything.
What if I publish something and change my mind?
Edit it or unpublish it. It is your folder and your work.
Do I need a card to read?
No. A free account with GitHub gets you the network, the news feed, public shares, follows and collections. Membership adds the community, members-only content, publishing and the revenue share.
