Portable copies of your favourite writing, and a fairer deal for authors

X17b turns any Substack post into clean, portable Markdown and audio, and pays authors. We designed and built the extraction tool and its creator-payout model.

What it is

Paste a Substack article or publication URL to extract clean Markdown plus the post's audio narration; publication URLs let you batch-select posts. A verified-author program routes 90% of fees to authors who connect a BSV wallet, good for readers who want portable copies and authors who want to monetise.

Our role

We designed and built the product end to end, the extraction flow, the verified-author program, and the payments that make it fair.
