Starlo

Hey Product Hunt! Today we’re rolling out the free tier of Starlo Early Access. It’s essentially a Microblogging CMS, or a personal website that looks exactly like a social media profile. It’s a tool that’s built to solve for the lack of independent publishing options for content creators (of all types). We’re taking a social-first approaching at independent publishing, with current support for short/long-form text posts, images, vertical/horizontal videos, short/long audio. I’ve been creating content online for over a decade and I’m tired of pivoting to new platforms just to communicate my ideas. Writers and podcasters have many options for independent publishing, but creators of short-form content have no real alternatives outside of developing their own platforms, or by using existing high-maintenance social networks. We’re launching a free tier today, and users have the option to upgrade to a custom domain and remove all Starlo branding for $9/mo. We will be rolling out features such as monetization options, Different web styles, a mobile app, and more over the next year. I’d love to get your take on what we’re building, and I’m convinced Starlo will solve for many issues related to micro-blogging, independent publishing, and dependence on large social networks. If you want to see what it’s like so far, here’s my profile: starlo.me/jarrenrocks

@jarrenrocks Congratulations on your PH launch of Starlo 🙌🏽! I really love this concept - while the variety of different social platforms available is great for content consumers at times, I can definitely see how it is a hinderance for content creators! The constant pivoting from platform to platform and never truly feeling like any one platform is a true representation of yourself.. My sister is a budding content creator that has stopped publishing content due to the sheer overwhelm of it all. I will be sending her over to Starlo to have a look as this could be the answer for her! Best of luck going forward - excited to see where things go with Starlo!

Wow, Starlo seems like an excellent tool for content creators! I'm eager to see how it empowers creators to easily publish their content. Congratulations on the launch, team!
