About 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.

A multilingual home

Tuhat wants to be a multilingual home for long-form writing — not just an English one. The interface speaks several languages, and each one has its own page gathering the writing published in it, so readers can find work in their language and writers can set theirs in site settings.

If your language isn't supported yet, Contact support — we'd love to add it.

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

Blog pages load with plain HTML and CSS. No JavaScript, no tracking, no ads. Writing in Markdown, publishing in public.

Analytics without surveillance

Writers get a dashboard at /u/you/analytics with visitors, page views, top posts, where they came from, and roughly where they read from. Enough to see how a piece is doing — without knowing who any reader is.

We don't run third-party trackers, advertising pixels, or fingerprinting. We don't store your readers' IP addresses or browser strings. Each day we generate a fresh secret and use it to turn every visit into a short code that's the same across pages within that day, and unrecognisable the next. The code is unique per writer, so no reader is followed between sites. Nothing leaves our servers. Nothing is sold. Nothing is shared.
