PublishMe, by Zeloite

Most publishing software is built for a blog that happens to be in English. An Indian newsroom is a different animal: it runs two or three languages at once, it still prints, its readers arrive from WhatsApp and Telegram rather than search, and the person who updates the website is also the person filing copy at 11pm. PublishMe is Zeloite's answer to that shape of problem.

We started from what a small paper actually does in a day — file a story, get it checked, push it to the channels readers use, put the print edition online, and keep the ads filled — and built the shortest route through each of those, instead of a general-purpose CMS with plugins bolted on.

What's there on day one

• A story written once, with its versions in your other languages linked together — each with its own headline, slug and URL.
• Three reader-facing designs: Classic for a traditional front page, Longform for reading, App style for phones.
• An ePaper your readers can flip, zoom and tap through, with clickable regions that open the full story.
• Automatic posting to Facebook, Instagram and Telegram the moment you publish, and a Videos section that follows your YouTube channel.
• Your own Google Analytics and AdSense, on your own custom domain.

What we deliberately left out

There is no plugin marketplace, no theme store and no page builder. Every one of those trades a day of setup for a year of maintenance, and newsrooms do not have a spare developer to pay that bill. The themes ship finished. The integrations are a list we maintain. When something breaks, there is one place to look.

We're building this in the open with the newsrooms using it. If something in your day is slower than it should be, that's the thing we want to hear about.
