Everything an announcement page needs
A page for your updates — announcements, release notes, opening hours, event dates. Here’s what you get, in detail.
Your own announcement page
Every account gets a page at your-name.thelatest.page. It is light and quick to open, and what you write on it reaches search engines and screen readers correctly. Pin the announcements that matter and they stay at the top.
The editor handles headings, bold, italic, lists, links, images, dividers and call-to-action buttons. It saves as you type, so there’s no “save” button to forget.
RSS feed, generated automatically
Every page comes with an RSS feed — the long-standing way readers get told when something new is published. Your regulars subscribe once in a reader app and hear about every update without checking back, and other services that understand RSS can pick your posts up the same way. There is nothing for you to set up.
QR code you can print
Download a QR code for your page and put it on a shop counter, a flyer, a poster or a business card. It points to a page you can update afterwards — the printed code never goes stale.
SEO and social previews built in
Paste your link into X, Slack, a message or a newsletter and it turns into a proper card with a title, a description and an image. Everything a search engine needs to understand the page is filled in for you as well — for the page itself and for every post on it. Nothing to configure. If you would rather stay out of search results, you can keep the whole page out of them.
A copy of your page sits in data centres around the world, so it comes from wherever is nearest to the person reading it, and there is no advertising or analytics code slowing it down — that is most of the reason it opens as fast as it does.
Themes and layouts
7 presets, 3 layouts and light, dark or automatic. Pro adds your own accent colour. Change the look and the live preview updates immediately — no publishing step, and no design skills needed.
Scheduled publishing and expiry dates
Write on Friday, publish on Monday at 10am. Set an expiry and the post comes off your page on its own — useful for temporary closures, limited runs and seasonal offers.
Embed your latest posts on your own site
Your latest announcements can appear on any site you already have — a marketing site, a docs page, an app dashboard. You paste one line where you want the list to show up, and that is the whole job. The list stands on its own: it cannot disturb the design of the page around it, and that design cannot disturb the list. Nothing else on your page is touched.
Pick the number of posts, an accent colour, and whether the list wears your page’s theme or blends into the site around it. The dashboard writes that line for you — there is nothing to edit — and shows you the real thing, exactly as it will look, before you copy it.
Use your posts somewhere else (for developers)
Your published posts are also handed out in a form other programs can read, so you can lay them out in your own design or feed them into another service. This is the one technical corner of The Latest — when you need it, pass this address to whoever builds your site: /api/v1/projects/{slug}/posts (JSON).
No trackers on your page
Published pages keep no record of who is reading them. No cookies, no analytics, no advertising, nothing loaded in from another company — nobody who visits your page is followed afterwards.
Free and Pro
The free plan gives you one page, the latest 20 announcements and 100MB of image storage. Pro is $8 a month and raises that to 5 pages, 200 announcements, 2GB of storage, every theme with your own accent colour, and no badge on your page.
Coming from something else?
These pages explain what The Latest does and where it fits, without pretending the alternatives are bad at their own job.
