Tuhat · Tuhat

Tuhat — Finnish for one thousand — is a platform for long-form writing. Posts must be at least 1,000 words to publish. No threads, no microblogging, no hot takes.

Each writer gets their own page. Your words live at tuhat.net/u/you. No algorithm decides who reads you — just a URL you can share.

Why 1,000 words?

The constraint is the point. Tuhat is for ideas that need room to breathe — arguments that require evidence, stories that need context, explanations that earn their conclusions. If it fits in a tweet, it belongs somewhere else.

Recently published

The home page lists every post as it's published, newest first. No ranking, no personalisation — just a chronological list of what people have been writing. An RSS feed mirrors the same stream for anyone who'd rather read in their own reader.

Following writers

Follow any writer to keep track of their work. Your /reading page collects posts from everyone you follow — a quiet feed of long-form writing, nothing else. No algorithm, no recommendations, no noise.

Your readers

People can read you their way. An RSS feed sits on every writer's page for anyone who'd rather use a reader, and a subscribe form on your home page and at the bottom of every post lets readers get new pieces by email — confirmed by them, one-click unsubscribe in every send.

You own the list. If you're moving from another platform, export your subscribers as a CSV and import them at /subscribers. Your readers come with you.

Letters to the author

Readers who are logged in can write you a letter from the bottom of any post — a private message, just to you. No public comments, no pile-ons, no replies competing for the loudest take. A considered piece of writing deserves a considered reply.

Letters arrive in your inbox. Reply privately, archive what you don't want to engage with, or — if a letter is too good to keep to yourself — publish the thread to the post, with or without the sender's name. The reader writes once; you decide what the world sees.

Simple by design
