Creator digests for every creator; the self-hosted subscribe embed - #1542
Conversation
…1537) Decided 2026-08-19: anyone may subscribe to any creator's digest, and the automatic weekly/monthly digest already sends for any list with readers. Pro keeps the active capabilities (sending a chosen post, composing issues); the richer analytics surface stays Pro when it arrives. - web: the subscribe relay drops the Pro roster check for creator digests; the subscribe button and the end-of-post prompt no longer consult the roster (the prompt offers the author's digest first, the community's when the author reads their own post in one); the shared link opener acts at once, eligibility being synchronous again. New subscribe source self-hosted-blog. Specs updated. - managed hosting: nginx forwards POST /api/newsletter/subscribe to ecency.com's public relay in both server blocks, so a blog's form posts same-origin, managed instances only by construction. - self-hosted SPA: NewsletterSignup in the sidebar (blog and community variants): email + weekly/monthly, always answers 'check your inbox' (double opt-in), rendered only when the served config carries managed, is not the unclaimed template, and the owner's new Features toggle (features.newsletter.enabled, default on) allows. The gate and the relay body live in a pure helper with node-environment tests; the Configuration Editor gains the toggle; strings in the i18n table. SPA build (with the node-globals guard) verified.

1. Relay loses reader IP

![qodo-free-for-open-source-projects[bot]](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/in/1068000?s=60&v=4){kind=small}
…ions, unmount guard - The subscribe proxy goes to the origin vhost on this box (host.docker.internal via a compose extra_hosts entry), not through public ecency.com: a Cloudflare hop recorded the hosting proxy as every reader's IP, put all tenants in one rate-limit bucket, and a bot challenge would have broken the form. The reader's address travels as CF-Connecting-IP set from the host edge vhost's own X-Real-IP assertion, which is exactly the header pair the origin's /api/ location forwards. - The editor's newsletter toggle declares default: true, matching the runtime's reading of an absent value. - The form's outcome and error speak through the shared LiveRegion, mounted from the first render; the submit guards against updating an unmounted component; explicit return types on the new exports.
The gate came out in the previous commit but its wording stayed behind, in places that still told readers and reviewers a creator digest needs Ecency Pro: the relay route's header, the subscribe button, newsletter-internal, the end-of-post prompt and the kill-switch comment in both configs. One of them was live. The subscribe dialog rendered any 403 as "Creator digests are available for Ecency Pro creators", and since the route answers 400/401/503 and the service has no 403 on /subscriptions, that arm could only ever say something false. It falls through to the generic error now, and the orphaned string goes with it, along with the spec's roster mock and its two seeds, which nothing has read since the gate went. The self-hosted signup form gets the component tests it was missing: the eligibility fence, the exact request, the busy/done/error transitions, a second submit while one is in flight, an unmount mid-flight and a StrictMode double-mount. They needed the vitest include widened to .tsx, which is why this app had never run a component test at all. Writing them turned up four accessibility defects in the form, fixed here: the cadence select answered to "Subscribe", the same accessible name as the submit button; nothing but `disabled` marked the in-flight state, which is not announced; the failure shared the success region and so was announced politely, against the rule live-region.tsx states itself; and the address field asked for no autofill.

The last part of #1537, plus the gate change decided today.
Creator digests are open to every creator. Anyone may subscribe to any account's digest; the automatic weekly/monthly digest already sends for any list with readers (the service never knew about Pro). Pro keeps the active capabilities: sending a chosen post and composing issues, with the richer analytics surface later. Concretely: the subscribe relay drops the Pro roster check, the subscribe button and the end-of-post prompt stop consulting the roster (the prompt offers the author's digest first; the community's when the author reads their own post in one), and the shared
?subscribe=digestlink opener acts at once since eligibility is synchronous again. New subscribe sourceself-hosted-blog.The managed-blog embed. A signup form in the tenant blog's sidebar (blog and community variants): email + weekly/monthly, always answering "check your inbox" (double opt-in end to end, so the form can learn nothing about an address it does not own). Managed instances only, by two fences: the form renders only when the served config carries
managedand is not the unclaimed template, and it posts to the host's own/api/newsletter/subscribe, a path only the managed multi-tenant nginx forwards to ecency.com's public relay (added in both server blocks; a true self-host has neither the marker nor the route). The owner can turn the form off with a new Features toggle in the Configuration Editor (features.newsletter.enabled, default on).Tests. The gate and the relay body live in a pure helper with node-environment tests (managed/template/toggle/username fences, community detection, label fallbacks, the exact body); the web specs for the open gate (no roster consulted on the route, the button, the prompt, the link opener); SPA suite 985 green, web specs 2,104 green, SPA production build (node-globals guard) verified.
Note for deploy: the nginx change reaches the hosting box with the next
developdeploy ofself-hosted.yml(the conf is on its fixed copy list); blogs pick the form up with the nextself-hosted-v*release tag.Summary by CodeRabbit
