Features
This is what we offer and what we don't. We believe both are equally important.
Features we do have
Typehut was built with one goal in mind: to be flexible enough so that you can build any kind of publication with it, but simple enough that it wouldn't take you more than a few minutes to get started.
Writing and publishing
Posts can be anything you want: articles, essays, short-form, long-form, pictures, links… all written using Markdown.
Labels for organizing
Categorize your posts by assigning labels to them. This way you can keep your content neatly organized, as visitors can filter by label when navigating your site.
Built-in email subscriptions
Your audience can subscribe to your site, so whenever you publish anything new they'll get automatically notified via email. You can export your list of subscribers too, we'll never make you hostage of our platform.
Custom templates
Tailor your site to your needs by choosing between one of our ready-made templates or by coding yours using our template engine.
Custom domains
We create a [your-site.typehut.com] URL for you when you sign up, but if you want to use your own address you can point any domain you own to Typehut and use that.
Private sites
Limit access to your sites with a password. Share it only with your clients, premium audience, friends…
Features we'll have soon
There are some things we want to do, but we haven't gotten to them yet. These are the things we're going to be working on next
Public API
Publish and manage your posts from anywhere you want or build your own apps on top of the Typehut platform.
Features we won't have
Keeping Typehut simple means we don't have many features other platforms have, but we believe it's for the best.
A powerful editor
Our editor is as simple as it gets: a plain textarea. You can of course use Markdown to add styles to your content, but we don't have a full-fledged visual editor.
Advanced analytics
We're currently deciding the amount of metrics that feel right for Typehut, but you'll probably never get a very advanced view into your audience data.
Plugins
We're not building a full CMS suite, so plugins are off the roadmap. We feel like a plugin system would end up being detrimental to the simplicity of the platform.
