🚀 Overview

Infinite helps independent publishers and media brands launch a professional news site in hours.
Plan content with an editorial calendar, collaborate with writers and editors, schedule posts, and grow audience with newsletters and rich SEO.
It’s ideal for niche magazines, tech blogs, campus newspapers, and brand publications that need speed, control, and clean code.

Experience-driven design: modeled after real newsroom workflows — drafts → review → publish, section fronts, featured stories, author bios, and issue-based publishing — so editors can focus on storytelling, not tooling.
