Submit content
Publish your work on the network
This is a developer co-op, and the content is the members. Anything you publish reaches the members of the network immediately, and a superadmin reviews it before it appears on the public site. 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, their pull requests, and the editor. The browser extension carries the same surface, and both read the same drafts. If you work with an AI agent, the MCP server lets it author through the same flow you do.
-
Publishing sends it to members first
When you publish, your work goes out to the members of the network straight away. Signed-in members read it in full. It is not listed on the public site, not in the public feeds, and not syndicated anywhere yet.
-
A superadmin reviews it for the public site
One of the network superadmins reads it and decides whether it goes public. You are told either way, and a decline comes with a note rather than silence. Nothing you wrote is deleted or altered by the review.
-
Once it is public it stays yours
You edit a published piece whenever you like and it stays public. It keeps the date you wrote it, so review time does not cost you your place in the feed.
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 needs no review. Comments are yours too, and 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 gets approved
A superadmin is looking for five things.
- 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.
A decline is not a judgement on your writing, and it is not final. It comes with a note, and you can rework the piece and publish it again.
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.
Earning starts when a piece is public, because the split follows visits to a public page. Payouts settle after a 90 day hold and arrive through Stripe Connect.

Questions
How long does a review take?
There is no promised turnaround. The network is small and a superadmin reads every piece, so it depends on what else is in the queue. Your work is live for members the whole time.
Can I see my piece before it is public?
Yes. It has its own page from the moment you publish, and any signed-in member can read it in full. You can send another member the link.
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.
