Public Archive Page

Your public archive is a branded page where anyone can browse your published newsletters - no login required. It’s the public face of your newsletter content and a powerful tool for attracting new subscribers.

Your Public Archive URL

Your archive is available at:

https://linkbrew.io/your-slug/archive

Replace your-slug with your workspace slug (visible in Settings > Advanced).

How It Works

The public archive shows all newsletters you’ve marked as Public in your admin archive. Each newsletter card displays:

• Subject - the newsletter title (links to the full newsletter)
• Date - when it was sent
• Excerpt - a preview of the content

The page is branded with your workspace name, logo, and primary color - the same branding as your subscribe page.

Newsletter Reader

When a visitor clicks a newsletter from the archive, they see the full content at:

https://linkbrew.io/your-slug/archive/newsletter-slug

The reader page includes:

• Full newsletter content with your brand styling
• All Issues link back to the archive (in the header)
• Subscribe button linking to your subscribe page
• “Powered by Linkbrew” footer

Note

All sent newsletters are accessible via their direct link, regardless of visibility. The “View in browser” link in your emails always works. The visibility toggle only controls whether a newsletter appears on the public archive listing.

Subscribe Integration

The public archive is designed to convert readers into subscribers:

• Archive page - a “Subscribe to Your Newsletter” button appears at the top, linking to your subscribe page
• Newsletter reader - a subscribe button appears in the footer of every newsletter
• Subscribe page - a “Browse past issues” link appears below the form (only when you have at least one public newsletter), linking visitors back to the archive

This creates a natural funnel: visitors discover your archive, read past issues, and subscribe.

SEO

Public archive pages and newsletter reader pages include meta tags for search engine discoverability:

• <title> and og:title set to the newsletter subject or archive name
• og:description set from the newsletter excerpt
• og:type set to article on individual newsletter pages

Limitation

Linkbrew is a single-page application (SPA). Google indexes JavaScript-rendered pages, but social media crawlers (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn) do not execute JavaScript. This means shared links won’t generate rich preview cards on social platforms. SSR support is planned for a future release.

Sharing Your Archive

Link to your public archive from:

• Your website or blog - “Read past issues”
• Social media - share your archive URL directly
• Email signatures - include alongside your subscribe link
• Your subscribe page - the “Browse past issues” link is added automatically

Empty State

If you haven’t marked any newsletters as public yet, visitors see a friendly message: “No newsletters published yet. Subscribe to be notified when the first one drops.” - with a link to your subscribe page.
