Imagine if
everyone had
their own
newspaper.

Your own newspaper, bringing together the sources, writing, media, interests and little rituals you choose. It begins with what you want to spend time with, rather than a feed guessing what might keep you scrolling.

That is the whole idea. Open your paper with your coffee. Find your favourite voices, something to think about and perhaps a game. Sharing it is optional. This showroom uses a few clearly labelled examples; automated source imports are coming with the self-service product.

Yes. The product is designed around a simple public or private setting for each section and each piece of writing. The first prototype lets you compare those views. Prototype edits are saved only in your browser; the public switch previews a layout rather than publishing it to the internet.

Yes, as sources, links and supported players. Access depends on the publisher: we cannot bypass a paywall or promise every service supports embedding or automatic imports. The demo uses real external links, YouTube and a BBC podcast player.

Absolutely. Essays, opinions, photographs, project updates, recommendations or a three-line note. Your voice belongs alongside everything you follow, with a public or private choice.

Yes. Your paper can link to the original Wordle as part of your morning ritual. Our homepage has an independent playable Wordle-style demonstration with our own daily answers. It is not a New York Times integration or affiliated product.

Of course. You can play The Daily Delivery right here. Or you might want trivia, cartoons, recipes or nothing humorous at all. It is your paper. A completely bespoke game can be quoted as separate Ideas Shed work.

Your name, masthead, colours, typography and layout should feel like you. Try the live design preview above. Conversational design will sit on a flexible but controlled design system. Entirely bespoke work is a separate conversation.

A conversation with Marcus, help shaping your editorial structure, first important sources and sections, a writing area, public/private structure, your newspaper name and design direction, a first edition, publication and sensible initial tweaks. It is for the first ten customers.

£100 is a one-off human setup service. It does not enrol you into a paid subscription. There will always be a genuinely useful Free ongoing option on an Ideas Shed-controlled address.

Your free newspaper can use an Ideas Shed-hosted subdomain. If you want your own domain, Marcus can help establish it during setup. Domain registration, renewals and any paid hosting arrangement are agreed separately. Premium domains and unusual costs are quoted separately.

A small part of your paper devoted to things outside your existing world: another perspective, an unfamiliar hobby, something strange or beautiful. You can turn it off. You cannot filter it endlessly into another version of the same bubble.

Custom games, animations, graphics, maps, unusual data or new functionality can become an Ideas Shed project. We will discuss the idea, scope and price before any work is commissioned.

Both games, media playback, design transformations, conversational onboarding preview, and browser-saved source, writing and section editing. Live AI, automated source imports, public user publishing, payments and the community features are not connected yet. Marcus’s £100 setup is a human service.
