Beehiiv. ConvertKit. Substack

More like Yourhiiv, YourKit, Yourstack. Don't rent, own your content platform.

GabKit is a creator and content platform starter kit built with Ruby on Rails, the framework optimized for happiness and scales with you from HELLO WORLD to IPO. Build your business on a solid foundation and own everything: your brand, your list, your profits, your future.

Your content, not theirs

Write once, publish and dispatch; no duplicate work, no platform telling you how to distribute your own words.

Your brand, not theirs

Your domain, your design, your vibe. No 'powered by'. You control how your content looks, feels, and builds trust with your audience.

Your audience, not theirs

You own the list. You control access. Export it, segment it, email it however you like. No lock-in, no fine print. Your subscribers stay yours.

Your revenue, not theirs

Stripe is built in, and your revenue goes directly to you. No landlord, no platform fees, no middlemen standing between you and your earnings.
Everything you need to nurture a loyal following.
