InterlinedList Is (officially) Live! 🚀

I've been living inside this thing for a long time now. Late nights, weekends, the whole cliché. Today I get to write the sentence I've been waiting to write: InterlinedList is properly live now and you can sign up right now.

Let me tell you what it is and why I built it. Not a pitch-deck version. The real one that benefits you.

Why InterlinedList Exists

Here's the thing that bugged me for years. I'd write something worth sharing, and then I'd do the same tedious dance every single time. Copy it. Paste it into one app. Reformat it because that app has different rules. Paste it into the next app. Trim it down because that one has a shorter limit. Repeat for a third, a fourth. By the fourth window I'd usually just give up and skip a couple of them.

That's a slow-moving disaster for anyone who writes regularly. It's not that any one copy-paste is hard. It's that the friction adds up until you quietly stop publishing. The habit dies. I've watched it happen to me and to people I know who are far better writers than I am.

There's a second problem underneath that one, and it's bigger. Most of the places you post your writing aren't really yours. You're a tenant. The platform owns the timeline, decides who sees it, and can change the rules or vanish entirely and take your words with it. Your writing scatters across a handful of accounts you don't control, and there's no single place where it all lives and adds up to something.

InterlinedList exists to fix both of those. It gives your writing a home you own. And when you publish, it can go everywhere at once. You write it one time, in one place, and it reaches all the networks you care about without you touching four different apps.

What "Time-Series" Actually Means Here

I describe InterlinedList as a "time-series micro-blogging platform," which sounds like something a robot would say. So let me translate.

"Time-series" just means your writing lives on a timeline that belongs to you. Every post you write lands on that timeline in order, and it stays there. Nothing evaporates. The value isn't in any single post. It's in the whole run of them building up over months and years into a real body of work. Think of it less like shouting into a feed that scrolls away by lunchtime, and more like a notebook that fills up and gets more valuable the longer you keep at it.

"Micro-blogging" is the short-form part. Quick posts, written in plain language, the way you'd write anywhere else. But underneath the short posts, there's room to grow into longer, more organized writing when you want it, and I'll get to that.

Publish Once, Reach Everywhere

This is the piece I'm proudest of, so I'll spend a minute on it.

You connect your accounts (Bluesky, Mastodon, LinkedIn, and X/Twitter) once, in your settings. From then on, when you write a post, you pick which of those networks it should go to, hit publish, and InterlinedList sends it to all of them for you. One writing box. Four destinations. No copying, no pasting, no reformatting.

There's a small piece of cleverness in here that I want to call out, because it's the kind of annoyance I built this specifically to kill. Every network has its own limit on how long a post can be. Some are generous, some are stingy. In the old copy-paste world, you'd have to hand-trim your post for the stingy one, or manually break it into a numbered thread. InterlinedList does that for you. If a network won't fit your whole post, it automatically splits it into a tidy numbered thread on that network, while sending it whole to the ones that have room. You write naturally and let the software handle the per-network fiddliness.

I'll be honest about the tradeoff here: cross-posting is the one big thing that isn't free. More on exactly where that line falls in a minute. I'd rather tell you plainly than have you find out at checkout.

Organizing Your Thinking Over Time

Short posts are the front door. But a lot of us think in bigger shapes than a single post, and InterlinedList has room for those too.

Two features carry most of that weight. Both are part of the subscription, and both exist because I kept needing them myself.

The first is Lists. A List is a build-your-own structured tracker. Think of it as a table you design yourself, without needing a spreadsheet or, heaven forbid, a database. You decide what columns it has: some text here, a date there, a dropdown of choices, a number, a checkbox, a link. Then you fill in rows. A reading list, a project tracker, a log of decisions you've made, a catalog of anything you care about keeping straight. You can look at your List as a grid, as a set of cards, or as a diagram that shows how different Lists connect to each other. If you're the kind of person who lives in tables and trackers, this is probably the reason you'll subscribe.

The second is Documents. These are for the long-form writing that won't fit in a quick post: essays, guides, notes that sprawl. You get a full writing editor, folders to organize everything the way you'd organize files on your computer, the ability to drop images into a piece, and reusable templates so you're not starting from a blank page every time. Each Document can be public or private, your call, one document at a time.

Together with the timeline of short posts, that's the whole arc: jot something quick, grow it into a structured List or a long Document when it deserves more room, and keep all of it in one place you own.

Who I Built This For

I kept a few specific people in my head the whole time I was building. Maybe you're one of them.

The writer who's tired of the copy-paste treadmill. You publish across a few networks and you're sick of doing the same post four times. You want to write it once and be done. That's the person cross-posting is for, plain and simple.

The small-org or community organizer wrangling a team. You're not just posting for yourself. You're coordinating a handful of people who all contribute. InterlinedList has organizations and workspaces so a team can work in a shared space instead of a tangle of personal accounts and group chats.

The builder who wants to own their timeline. You write in public, you tinker, you keep track of what you're shipping. You can point a List at a code project you keep on GitHub and have it pull in that project's open to-do items automatically, so your tracker stays current without you copying anything over by hand. (If that sentence meant nothing to you, don't worry, it's a nicety for the developer crowd and nothing else depends on it.)

The researcher or note-taker who thinks in lists and long documents. You're gathering things over time and you want structure: tables for the bits that are structured, long documents for the bits that need to breathe, all on a timeline you can look back across. This whole product is, honestly, partly a love letter to that person, because that person is me.

What's Free and What Costs Money

I hate paywalls that hide the ball, so here's the straight version.

The free tier is real, has no time limit, and never expires. On it you can:

• Write and publish text posts (links and @mentions become clickable automatically)
• Reply to people, thread conversations, and react with an "I Dig!"
• Follow other people and read a public feed of what they're writing
• Have a public profile that's genuinely yours
• Export your posts, Lists, and Documents as plain text files you can take anywhere, so your writing is never held hostage
• Sign in with an account you already have (GitHub, Mastodon, Bluesky, or LinkedIn)
• Get notifications, a dashboard, and light or dark mode

That's a complete writing home, not a crippled trial. You could live on the free tier indefinitely and get real value.

The subscription is $6.99 a month, or $60 a year if you pay annually, which knocks roughly 30% off. It unlocks the reach-and-organize half of the product:

• Cross-posting to Bluesky, Mastodon, LinkedIn, and X/Twitter (the big one)
• Adding images and video to your posts
• Scheduling posts to publish later, automatically, without you being awake for it
• Lists, your build-your-own structured trackers
• Pulling a code project's open items into a List from GitHub
• Documents, long-form writing with folders, images, and templates
• Turning a post you've already written into a List or a Document in one step
• Organizations and workspaces for teams
• Longer posts and priority support

The honest summary: free covers writing, publishing to your own feed, following people, and taking your data with you. The subscription covers reaching every other network at once and organizing serious amounts of writing. Start free, and upgrade the day the free tier stops covering what you're doing. Not a minute before.

One thing I want to be clear about because I'd hate to oversell it: AI writing help is on the roadmap but not here yet. When it does arrive, it'll run on your own AI account so your words stay yours. But it doesn't exist in the product today, on any tier, and I won't pretend otherwise.

Go Write Something

That's the launch. It's live, it's real, and I'd love for you to try it.

Sign up, write your first post, follow a few people, and see how it feels to have a timeline that's actually yours. If the free tier is all you ever need, wonderful. If you find yourself wanting to reach four networks from one box, you know where the button is.

I'll be writing here regularly from now on. The next few posts will walk through building your first List, setting up cross-posting step by step, and the small tricks that make a daily writing habit stick. For today, though, I just wanted to open the doors and say hello.
