case study
Papertrail
IN PROGRESSA newsletter platform bridging deep reading and high-impact writing. AI-powered tools for creators to draft, distribute, and monetize their content.
the problem
Newsletter writers juggle separate tools to read, draft, distribute, and monetize. The friction between deep reading and high-impact writing breaks the publishing rhythm that creators depend on.
the solution
Papertrail brings the whole loop into one platform. AI-assisted drafting works from the sources a writer collects, and distribution and monetization are built in rather than bolted on. Built with Next.js and TypeScript, with OpenAI powering the writing tools.
