Subscriber-Only – Paid Subscriptions for Jekyll

Hacker News

I want to show you something I've been working on for the past couple of months. You can check it out at https://subscriber-only.com If you want to post paid written content on the web, you'll invariably reach out to Substack, Ghost or good old WordPress. If you're a fan of static site generators -- like I am -- you'll know that, by doing so, you'll lose the customizability and simplicity you get when using a tool like Jekyll. Subscriber-Only is -- in my 100% impartial opinion -- a good alternative to using the mentioned platforms. You get to keep using Jekyll and, with a gem and a couple of lines of YAML, you'll enable subscriptions, subscriptions management, payment processing, access controls and all other needed machinery needed to have memberships on your site. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. Do check it out and let me know what you think!
