Send a link or a single file. It opens in an ordinary browser with nothing to install, and what arrives is the structure itself, still navigable, not a picture of where it used to be.
Almost every way of sending work to somebody involves pressing it flat first. A report becomes a PDF, a structure becomes a picture, and the contextual arrangement that was doing half the explaining does not make the trip.
What arrives here is the shape itself. Your reader turns it, zooms into a section, taps a node and the page opens. They can read the whole thing in the order you intended, or go straight to the part they were looking for and see immediately what it hangs off.
It is read-only, so nothing they do disturbs your copy, and it works as well on a phone as on a laptop. There is also nothing for them to install, no account to make and nothing to subscribe to.
Both are made from a snapshot of the space as it stands when you press the button. Pick whichever suits the person waiting for it.
Paste it into an email, a message or a ticket. It opens in a browser on a phone as readily as on a desktop, and the person opening it has nothing to set up.
Expires by itself after 180 days, so nothing you shared last year is still quietly available.
The whole thing, in a single file. Attach it, archive it, put it on a memory stick and post it. It opens in any browser with nothing running behind it.
This is genuinely yours. No servers anywhere, it carries on working indefinitely.
The Publisher Studio does not require you to have used the construction surface (Space Studio) first, or at all. Plenty of people never do.
Just use it like a traditional document creator.
Make pages, give them cover images and proper long-form formatting, connect to other pages, arrange them so that related things sit near each other. The arrangement becomes the contents page your reader navigates.
Nothing here asks you to define a vocabulary of types or think about a graph as a graph.
If that describes you, the 3D/2D structure is simply how your document is organised. And if you also work in Space Studio concurrently, it is the same either way. Switching between them is a toggle, not a save and an export, because it's still the same structure underneath.
Colour is set the same way, and per document rather than per app. Headings, body text, the title, the page and its background are five separate choices, and the background can be a flat colour, a gradient, or an image.
Snapshots are encrypted on your own machine before they go anywhere. What reaches us is ciphertext, and it stays that way while we hold it. We cannot read a shared space, whether or not you set a password on it, and there is no setting that changes that because it is not a setting.
The password, if you use one, is a separate control doing a different job: it decides who gets in once they have the link. The encryption is not optional, never was and never will be.
We do not want your data. It belongs to you, not to us. Publishing exists because people asked to send their work to colleagues and clients who do not use Filamental, and the whole feature was designed around us never holding anything readable from the outset.
What you send is the space as it was at that moment. When you are ready for them to see the new version, you update it and it is pushed to the same link.
Then it expires on its own. Too many confidential documents have been discovered because they accumulated somewhere indefinitely. If you need something more permanent, consider exporting as a file instead (no expiry).
If you publish during your first fifteen days and then move to the free plan, the link keeps working for its full 180 days. You lose the ability to push updates to it but you keep the ability to revoke it if you need to. We won't leave you stranded.
Publishing is the paid part of Filamental. Everything involved in building a structure/project is free and will always stay free; publishing is the part that leaves your computer, and it is what the money is for. One price, no upselling.
Publishing your work anywhere else generally means renting access to your work back, and your work is gone when you stop paying rent. That is one way to run a service but it should also be called what it is... hosting with bells on. It is a different business from ours, we believe in sovereignty and ownership. We don't monetise the data we didn't create.
No card, no account, nothing to cancel. Build something, publish it, and watch somebody open it. It won't be your best creation, but you will enjoy the experience.
