For Organizers

You can spin up your own branded, single-collection open-letter app with minimal setup. If you have a recipient you want to send open letters to, single-campaign mode projects On The Record as a dedicated app for it - your own name, your own theme, your own recipient, no shared codebase to commission or maintain. Under the hood you get a curated feed of letters, a fixed style and price, automatic delivery of edition #1 to the recipient, and a sentiment dashboard. Dear Stacks is an example of what that result looks like.

What you get

• A dedicated feed scoped to your campaign (filter on the hub, or a dedicated subdomain)
• A recipient address that receives edition #1 of every letter automatically
• A fixed visual style so every letter in the campaign reads as part of the same body of work
• A fixed price for co-signing
• A sentiment view per letter - rating distribution, notes, count
• An on-chain audience - signers are addresses you can read, talk to, message via the protocol

Launching a campaign

Today, campaigns are configured by the Rising Tide team. You bring:

• A recipient address - the address that should receive edition #1 of every letter
• A name - the campaign title (e.g. "Dear Stacks")
• A style preference - one of the available open-letter style sets
• Pricing - what co-signers pay (or zero for free co-signs)

The team registers the collection in rt-admin, points your domain at the OTR deployment if you want a dedicated surface, and your campaign is live.

A self-serve campaign creation flow is on the roadmap. Until then, reach out to the team.

Reading sentiment

Every letter has a sentiment view that shows:

• The rating distribution - how the 1-10 ratings cluster
• The notes - public, paginated, sortable by rating
• The count - how many co-signers
• The signers - addresses and (where linked) names

Because the underlying data is on-chain, anyone with a block explorer can verify it independently. The platform is not the source of truth - the chain is.

Reaching back

Your campaign recipient is a real on-chain address. If you want to send a thank-you, an update, or a follow-up letter to the people who signed, you can - their addresses are right there in the sentiment view. The protocol does not lock the audience inside the app.

Your own branded app, minimal effort

If you want a dedicated surface (your own domain, your own header, no campaign filter), single-campaign mode projects On The Record as an app for your collection alone. One config flip points the platform at your campaign; there is no bespoke site to build and no separate codebase to keep running. You bring the recipient, the name, the style, and the price - the platform becomes your app. Dear Stacks is a worked example of exactly this: a standalone-looking, branded open-letter app that is really OTR in single-campaign mode.
