Lately.

Now in beta

A weekly letter to your closest friends.

Lately is a private, personal space to blog. You use Telegram to send notes, links, and photos that caught your eye. Each Friday we help you polish everything into a short letter sent to your friends (and only your friends).

It’s a simpler way to blog, free from any pressure to post publicly. There’s no algorithm that stands between you and your friends.

Free to get started.


Blogging simplified

There’s no software to learn with Lately. It’s as simple as sending a new message in Telegram. Just share whatever you notice and Lately takes care of the rest. You get the power and freedom of WordPress with the simplicity of messaging.


Just friends

Friends are at the core of Lately and your letters are only shared with them. You can send any friend a link to your site and they’ll see an option to Subscribe. Once your friends hit “Subscribe” they’re listed in your Lately where you can approve them. Only friends you approve will receive each weekly letter you publish.


Write with style

Lately ships with three style packs (more on the way) that are one-click to change.
