How to get started with j7.is

dev3lop ·June 11, 2026

Getting a real, fast, measurable website live on j7 takes about 1 minute. Here's the whole journey — welcome, sign-in, studio, writing, publishing, and measuring — with a screenshot of every step.

1. Start at the welcome screen

Go to j7.is and you'll land on the welcome screen. There's exactly one thing to do here: begin your space.

2. Sign in with GitHub

j7 signs you in with GitHub, so there's no new password to create or remember. Click Login, authorize j7, and you're in — that's the entire account step.

GitHub sign-in page that reads: Sign in to GitHub to continue to j7 — Sign in with GitHub to continue to j7 (Google and Apple work too).

3. Land in your Studio

Once you're in, the Studio is your home base. Set a profile image, add social links, manage your subdomains and short links, and see every post in one place. The buttons up top jump you to your public space, your other mysp4ces, or a brand-new post.

The Studio — your private dashboard for everything.

4. Write your first post

Hit + New post and you're in the editor. You build the page out of blocks — headings, paragraphs, images, callouts, call-to-action forms, and more — set a category, slug, and cover image, and you can even invite a co-editor to write alongside you in real time.

5. Publish — and it's instantly live

Press publish and your post goes live at your own subdomain, served as cached, SEO-clean HTML. This is what a finished post looks like to the world: cover image, title, byline, and your words.

6. See exactly how people read it

Every post comes with analytics built in — views, unique visitors, read-through, dwell time, referrers, and devices — plus an A/B test and a conversion ranking. No extra scripts, no extra tools, no bolt-ons.

And the part most platforms don't give you at all: a privacy-respecting cursor heatmap that replays attention over a faithful, full-page render of your post — cover image, headline, and all — so you can see precisely where eyes and cursors go.

That's it — you're publishing

Welcome → sign in → write → publish → measure. Speed, SEO, white-labeling, testing, and analytics are already on; you just use them. Claim your subdomain and start your space.
