Pressentable Alpha

No. 001 A journal of plain reporting

For people who ship numbers

Reports that look like the work behind them.

Pressentable turns a spreadsheet into a typeset document your client can actually read. No dashboards, no decks, no design hours.

How it works

  1. 01

    Bring the numbers

    Drop a CSV, Excel or JSON file. Pressentable reads the sheet, counts the rows and lays the columns out for binding. Nothing to configure.

  2. 02

    Set the page

    Pick a template, add blocks of text, tables, charts and stats. The document sets itself in Newsreader as you work, live on the page.

  3. 03

    Send it out

    Export a PDF or an image, or publish at a public link set like a page of a journal. Re-import next month and the document updates.

An editor’s note

Numbers are an argument. When they arrive in a crooked spreadsheet, the argument loses force. We built Pressentable so that the care you put into the work survives the sending of it.

Y. The editor · Geneva

A notice to our first readers

The founding twenty.

Pressentable opens its membership with twenty seats. A founding member receives the two capabilities the free press does not carry, at a price that will never rise.

I. Publish at a public link

Every report you publish lives at its own address, set like a page of a journal, ready to be sent, read and revisited.

II. Full white label

Your letterhead, your mark, no mention of ours. The document carries your name alone, on screen and in print.

Fifteen dollars a month, locked for life.

$15 / month · twenty seats · the price never rises
