About DailyZine
The open web is full of voices worth finding
Every day, independent publishers put brilliant blogs, videos, comics, recipes, and podcasts on the open web — often on small sites you will never stumble across. Meanwhile, most of us scroll the same few big platforms and miss the work we would have loved. DailyZine sits in the middle: a space to discover what is out there and keep up with the publishers you care about, without pretending to be the publisher ourselves.
Our mission
We built DailyZine because discovery and reach should not be reserved for the loudest platforms. Readers deserve an easy way to find new favourites and stay current; publishers deserve a fair shot at being seen and rewarded on their own terms.
Help people discover great independent work — then send them to the site where it was made.

For readers
Find your next favourite publisher — and never lose the ones you have
Browse by topic, skim what is new, and follow the sites you want to keep reading. DailyZine makes it easier to discover voices you did not know yet and stay up to date with the publishers you already trust — one feed instead of a tangle of bookmarks, apps, and forgotten tabs.
For publishers
Independent work should not disappear in the noise
Small sites and personal domains carry an enormous share of the web's best material, yet they are often overlooked. We index public updates, put your stories in front of readers who are looking for them, and when someone clicks through, they land on your site — so the attention and revenue stays with you.
The details
Everything below is the fine print behind the mission — how the product works, how we treat publishers, and what you can expect when something needs correcting.
The product
What DailyZine is
DailyZine is a reader and discovery service — a mobile app and website that helps you find independent publishers and follow what they publish. We gather publicly available updates from blogs, videos, comics, recipes, podcasts, and similar sources, then show you titles, excerpts, and links in one place.
We are not a publisher. We do not host the full text, audio, or video of the work you browse here — you always read, watch, or listen on the site where it was originally published.

What you can do
In plain terms, DailyZine is built for browsing, following, and returning to the source:
- Skim a feed of recent stories from many publishers at once
- Explore by category on Discover when you want to go deeper on a topic
- Follow publishers you care about and see their latest work in one place
- Save posts, like stories, and build a personal library when you sign in
- Open any item on the publisher's own website — every card is a doorway out, not a copy hosted here
Listings show metadata — title, excerpt, image, publisher name, and publication time — plus a link to the original. That is all we display on DailyZine.

Why we built it
The mission at the top of this page is the heart of it. Technically, DailyZine is a calm index: discovery and following in one place, with every intentional click meant to land on the publisher's site. The sections that follow spell out what that means in practice.
How it works
Most publishers already share updates on the open web through syndication feeds (RSS, Atom, and similar). DailyZine monitors those public signals, stores metadata about each item, and organises listings so you can search and browse.
When a site publishes something new, it typically appears in our index after the next refresh. Titles, descriptions, and images usually come straight from the publisher's feed or page; we may normalise or shorten text so cards read cleanly in our interface.
Signed-in features such as a “For you” feed use ranking and personalisation to surface stories you might enjoy. They never change who wrote a piece or where it lives — they only change what we show you on DailyZine.

For publishers
Our relationship with publishers
Every story in our index comes from a third-party publisher. They own their sites, their content, and their business terms. Unless we say otherwise publicly, listing a publisher does not imply a partnership, sponsorship, or endorsement.
Appearing in our index also does not mean a publisher submitted or approved that listing. We index work that is already public on the open web so readers can find it — and so clicks return to the original source.
For how we handle links, thumbnails, and other third-party material, see External links & third-party content.
When you click through
Opening a story from a card or listing takes you to the publisher's website in a new tab. You experience their layout, ads, paywalls, analytics, and privacy policy — not ours.
We do not frame or republish full articles on DailyZine. If a listing looks stale, it usually catches up once the publisher updates their feed; if not, see corrections and publisher contact below.

Policies
Content ownership
Copyright and related rights in articles, episodes, images, logos, and trademarks stay with the publishers and creators who made them. DailyZine does not claim ownership of indexed third-party content.
The DailyZine name, app, website design, and our software and branding are ours. Anything attributed to a publisher on this site remains theirs.
Editorial approach
DailyZine is an automated index, not an editorial desk. We do not commission, rewrite, or fact-check what publishers post on their own sites.
We may categorise entries, filter spam, and apply quality or relevance signals so feeds stay useful. Showing something in Discover or in your feed is not a verdict on accuracy or suitability — it means we think it may interest you and that it points to a legitimate public source.
You can hide stories, mute publishers, and tune how you use the service. Those choices only affect your experience on DailyZine; they do not change anything on a publisher's site.
Corrections and publisher contact
DailyZine reflects what publishers publish on the open web. In most cases, the fastest way to fix a listing is at the source:
- Update the article, episode, or page on your site, then refresh your syndication feed (RSS, Atom, or equivalent).
- We pick up feed changes on a later refresh — one correction at the source can flow everywhere the feed is used.
- For factual errors, retractions, or legal issues in the work itself, the publisher's site stays authoritative; we avoid rewriting third-party content in our index where possible.
If a feed is already correct but our listing is still wrong after a reasonable time, you do not use a public feed, or you need material removed from our index, use our publisher removal process or contact us. We treat requests as unverified until we can confirm the requester controls the relevant source or site (or otherwise has authority over the material). We will not act on removal or sensitive corrections until that verification is complete.
