What shipped in August

We stopped writing a post per release in July. August was busy enough that the blog fell behind the product. This is the month in one place, reader-facing changes only.

Newsroom Floor

The pilot is open. Anyone can bring a paper from the landing page. Seats are capped, and a pilot paper runs on the Solo plan at no charge for six months. The pilot post has the whole newsroom.

Your paper on your own domain. Point a CNAME at your floor and the paper serves at your address, with a canonical setting so search engines see one home. Two of ours moved first: news.drm3.io and news.truthfoundry.ai.

Readers can subscribe, and you get paid. Set a monthly price on your paper. A reader gets a free read, then subscribes by card, and the story opens. Ninety percent of each payment lands in your account as credits, and credits run the newsroom.

Sign up and the paper is already running. A new floor opens with real pieces on the front page, so the first thing you see is a newsroom at work.

Search the record and build your own story queries. A Search tab over the fact record, a Files corpus you curate as you go, a story drafted from a file, and 25 ready-made queries you can run or fork.

One story per subject. The edition composer reads across sources for the same event and prints one story where a feed prints five.

The whole paper in Spanish. One setting renders every live piece in Spanish, with a variant for Colombia, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Argentina, or Spain.

Cover art. Every paper carries art on its front, in one of five styles you pick, with a painted masthead and a day cover drawn from that day's stories.

Readers get controls. Twelve reader themes, type size and typeface, and a newsletter box above every front for readers who want the edition by email.

One signature to publish. The Publisher Agreement replaces six separate signings. It opens on the page you are reading, and a sealed card shows what you signed.

Hand a paper to someone else. An owner transfers a paper to any email. Both sides sign, both are emailed, and the sender can withdraw an open offer.

Bring your own model key. Add a provider key to your DRM3 account and link it to your newsroom. Every plan can run stronger models on its own key; Publisher falls over to it automatically when the daily credits are spent.

Build a newsroom from an agent. A keyed admin API and MCP tools let an external agent stand up a paper end to end.

One sentence, every witness. When several publishers carry the same claim, a story cites it once and names all of them, instead of printing the same sentence three times with three footnotes.

Numbers the way people say them. Stories read $3.2 million and 11 percent, not 3200000 and 0.11, and a writer never rounds a figure the record did not.

Invite a person with their apps already granted. An operator invites by email with the papers and plans attached; the grants apply the moment the person signs up and accepts the terms.

DomainDrift

Leads went on sale. DomainDrift signs every reading it takes of the internet's surface. When a company moves its mail, its DNS, its hosting, or its certificate authority, that move lands as a dated, signed row, and a row is a domain, so the list drops straight into Apollo, HubSpot, or Salesforce. A static list tells you what a company runs; this one tells you it is changing. The DomainDrift post has the whole story, the plans, and the film.

Starter is $99 a month for three segments, refreshed weekly, 500 rows, CSV and web. Team is $299 for every segment, refreshed daily, 5,000 rows, CSV and API.

Three plans for monitoring. Free watches one domain with one alert. Solo at $29 watches five on the priority lane with a daily report, webhooks, and export. Scale at $299 watches two thousand.

Every reading is anchored on Base. A reading is signed the moment it is taken. Every 15 minutes, every signed reading in that window is rolled into one root and written to a public contract on Base. The block's own clock then says the reading existed by that time, and nobody, including us, can move it earlier. A signature proves who took a reading and that it has not changed. The anchor proves when. Neither says the reading is correct, and the record says so. The whole chain, from one receipt to the transaction, checks in your browser at domaindrift.io/verify. Certificate Transparency already does this for one thing, TLS certificates, logged by the authorities that issue them. DomainDrift watches the whole surface, DNS, mail, name servers, hosting and the certificate, as an outside observer, and anchors each reading independently.

The daily report reads like a newsletter. It opens with an at-a-glance summary where a domain that stopped answering stands out. Samples of the weekly, the daily, and the Slack alert are at domaindrift.io/reports.

A public spotlight. domaindrift.io/spotlight/github is an x-ray of one critical estate, re-read every five minutes, open to anyone.

Light and dark. A theme toggle in the account menu, and a changes feed where every change carries the icon and tone of its family.

TruthFoundry

The paper has a second address. TruthFoundry's daily paper now also serves at news.truthfoundry.ai, on Newsroom Floor, with the same stories and the same receipts.

The DRM3 account

News alerts. Save a topic in plain words. It is matched against all news as it arrives and lands in your account bell.

The SDK grew. @drm3/sdk now searches the record, meters any kind of usage to the ledger, and keeps a partner's signing key with the partner. The SDK post has the detail.

Site search on drm3.io. Press slash or Cmd-K anywhere on the site and go straight to a page or a post.

Reading every paper is free. Start at newsroomfloor.com, truthfoundry.ai, or domaindrift.io.
