Features
The tool, up close.
A tour of what the product actually looks like. Modes, workflows, wires, AI, assets, publisher, integrations. Technical detail lives in the docs.
Modes
One product, two shapes.
A single tenant setting decides whether editors see the planning surface or a stripped-down write-and-publish view. Switch back at any time.
Write, edit, publish.
The planning surface and workflow chip stay out of the way. Draft, headline, publish. That is the whole affordance.
Assignments, desks, deadlines.
The full planning surface. Plan the day around planning items and assignments. Every article carries a workflow chip and an audit trail.
Workflows
States you draw. Transitions you gate.
Draft, review, cancelled, withheld, usable. Draw the states, connect the transitions and decide who can move what. Version bumps, confirm prompts and AI steps hang off transitions, not off documents.
Role-gated
Every transition names the roles that can trigger it. The chip disables itself for anyone else.
Version-bumping
Any transition can bump the version. The v-pill on the article shows the current cut.
Confirm-prompted
High-stakes transitions carry a confirm dialogue. The prompt text is on the workflow, not the code.
Wires and AI
Coverage in, model on the transition, human on the last mile.
Newswire ingest, categorisation, translation, summary and rewrite. Bind operations to workflow transitions. Bring your own provider or run the open-weight models shipped with the platform.
Newswire ingest
Reuters, TT, AP or custom sources. Items enter as drafts, categorised and prioritised on arrival.
AI on transitions
Translate, categorise, rewrite, summarise. Snapshots run before every operation so a bad model output does not corrupt state.
Local models included
Ship NLLB-200, mT5-XLSum and mDeBERTa in-deployment at no per-call cost. Point at your own provider whenever you need to.
Assets
A library that ships with the newsroom.
Photographs, illustrations and graphics live next to the articles that use them. Metadata, captions, rights and photographer credit stay attached through every export path. Every image carries an Ed25519 signature over its original bytes.
One archive, one search
Find by usage, byline, restrictions, date and tag. Drop an image into an article and the caption pre-fills from metadata.
Ed25519 + C2PA
Ed25519 over the raw bytes, stored beside the file. Any C2PA manifest supplied on upload is validated and preserved. Downstream readers verify either.
Rights that travel
Restrictions, terms and photographer credit stay attached through webhook payloads, RSS and Publisher rendering.
Publisher
A live site, one click away.
Flip the publisher on and your tenant gets a working site on the spot. Pick a template, promote articles to usable, they appear on the live site. Add a DNS TXT record to point your own domain, we verify and issue TLS automatically.
DNS verify + auto TLS
Add a tidenda-verify TXT record, we verify and issue TLS automatically. Wildcard preview host in the meantime.
Article clusters
Group follow-ups under a story. The classical layout renders lead and siblings without markup work.
RSS + section feeds
A site-wide RSS feed and one per section. Ready for aggregators, alerts and downstream mirrors.
Integrations
The seams the room needs.
Outbound webhooks fire on document transitions with a signed body and snapshot. A public injection API takes wire, planning and article writes on a per-tenant key. Docs go into the depth the operations team needs.
Signed outbound webhooks
HMAC-SHA256 on the request, Ed25519 on the snapshot. Idempotent, replayable, verifiable in any language.
Public injection API
POST documents into one tenant on a scoped key. Ideal for importers, wire feeds and third-party integrations.
Domain events
Redis pub/sub carries document transitions. Downstream consumers subscribe and stay in sync with a catchup cursor.
Fits the way you already work.
Start on one seat, free for a year. Add the rest of the team when it feels right.
