Your Role as a Writer

You’re building a comprehensive resource for Abstract projects. Every article you write moves content from siloed platforms (Discord, Twitter, Telegram) onto permanent pages that:
  • Can be discovered by people searching for information
  • Persist beyond the 24-hour lifecycle of social media posts
  • Get syndicated across the web via RSS feeds
  • Build a lasting archive of Abstract ecosystem knowledge

​
What You Can Do

  • Create and edit your own articles
  • Submit articles for editorial review
  • Request access to new tags/topics
  • View your published articles and stats
  • Manage your profile
  • Contribute to Abstract ecosystem knowledge - Your content becomes a permanent resource

​
What You Cannot Do

  • Publish articles directly (must go through review)
  • Edit articles after they’re published
  • Use tags you haven’t been assigned
  • Access other writers’ drafts

​

  1. Draft: Your work-in-progress article (you can edit freely)
  2. Submitted: Article submitted for review (you can still edit by clicking “Save Draft”)
  3. In Review: Editor is reviewing your article (you can still edit by clicking “Save Draft”)
  4. Needs Revision: Editor requested changes (you can edit and resubmit)
  5. Published: Article is live on the website (read-only)
