Using Inkspace
Discovery & community
Browse shelves, search, ratings and reviews, comments, likes, bookmarks and notifications.
Stories feed
Stories is the home feed: every story you can read, with infinite scrolling and a search bar. Ongoing stories move back up when their author adds content, and recent comments from across your Inkspace sit alongside the feed.
Browse
Browse helps you find your next read by trend, activity and story vibe:
| Shelf | How it’s picked |
|---|---|
| Monthly favorites | Published in the last month, ranked by likes and comments |
| Yearly favorites | Published in the last year, ranked by likes and comments |
| Recently updated | Most recently updated stories |
| Rising discussion | Stories with the most conversation, weighted toward comments |
| New releases | Most recently published stories |
| Completed reads | Stories marked Completed |
| Long reads | The longest stories by word count |
| Hidden gems | Stories with only a few likes and comments, freshest first |
Unlisted stories never appear in public discovery feeds.
Search
Search looks across story titles, authors and tags.
Ratings & reviews
Rate any story you can read in half-star steps, and optionally add a short written review (up to 1,000 characters). Each story shows its average rating and review count, with a dedicated page for all reviews.
Comments
- Threads — start a discussion thread on a story, or comment in the General section. Paged stories have comments per page.
- Formatting — comments support Markdown and image attachments (JPEG, PNG, WebP or GIF, up to 10 MB).
- Editing — edit or delete your own comments. Deleting a comment also removes its replies.
- Limits — up to 2,000 characters per comment and 120 per thread title.
Likes & bookmarks
Like a story to let the author know you enjoyed it. Bookmark it to save it for later — your bookmarks live under Bookmarks in the navigation bar, including unlisted stories that were shared with you by link.
Notifications
The bell in the navigation bar collects activity that involves you. In Settings → Notifications you can switch each type on or off:
- likes on your stories
- comments on your stories
- replies to your comments
- updates to stories you follow
- invite activity, such as someone joining with your invite
Author pages
Every member has an author page with their bio, published stories, total words, reactions and — if they choose to share it — their writing activity and what they’re reading.
