About
Quilltide is a publishing-first newsletter platform with a web archive, paid subscriptions, referral rewards and a writer-facing editor that stays out of the way.

Subscriber import stalls above 15k rows
Import sat at 'processing' for four days on a 20k CSV. Support ran it manually and it completed.
Paid post paywall renders below the fold on iOS Safari
The paywall block appears after the full post body on iOS Safari, so the whole article is readable for free.

The editor stays out of the way
Six months in, twelve thousand subscribers, paid tier live. Payouts have been on time every month. The referral program drove about a fifth of our growth.

Complaints
Limited layout control
Sensible defaults
Would recommend for a small team. Larger orgs will want the higher tier.
Loved
Integrations
Replaced two tools with this
The API is clean and documented, which made our integration a one-day job.

Every issue I have raised got a public response with a timeline. Two were shipped. That is rarer than it should be.
