Features for creators
Hubs, preview reels, paid access, analytics, and the rest of the creator toolkit.
Hubs
A hub is a curated place for files, notes, links, and collaborators. It starts private.
Learn more
Preview reels
Optional trailers on Library cards: a hover or swipe carousel so people can sample a hub before they open it.
Learn more
Clubs
Groups that read, list, and talk together. A new club always starts private.
Learn more
Use cases for creators
Sell access, host premium subscriptions, get discovered, collaborate, and build a community around the pack.

Selling digital products
Put files in a hub, list it on Library, and charge for access with Stripe.
Learn more
Host premium subscriptions
Sell monthly access to a premium hub pack. Same 5% fee as a one-time unlock. Stripe handles the card.
Learn more
Get discovered in Library
List a hub so people can find it in search, For You, and preview reels. Aura is scarce endorsement, not a like count.
Learn more
Build with other creators
Invite editors and admins on a hub. Unlimited collaborators on Free and Growth.
Learn more
Cohorts and communities
A club is the group. A hub is the pack. Use both when people need a list, a focus, a feed, and events.
Learn more
Selling ebooks
Publish a PDF or a set of documents as a hub. Import from Internet Archive when redistribution is allowed.
Learn more
Course-like hubs
Package videos, PDFs, and checklists in one hub. This is not a full LMS.
Learn more
Workshops
Turn a live session into a hub: video, slides, and the worksheets people actually need later.
Learn more
Playbooks and templates
Ship a kit: guides plus copy-ready templates so people are not hunting scattered tips.
Learn more
A public creator shelf
Your profile is the shelf of hubs you listed. Share one link. People follow you for the next pack.
Learn more
A library after the newsletter
Keep sending email on Substack, beehiiv, or Kit. Give subscribers a hub to open when the issue is a pack, not a post.
Learn more
Talk beside the files
Keep a forum conversation on a hub or a file, next to the work, without starting a club.
Learn more
Guided journals
Publish a prompt series as a hub: day-by-day files, a how-to note, listed free or paid.
Learn more
Study and research packs
Keep PDFs, notes, slides, and links in one hub so the paper you need is not lost in a folder.
Learn more
A library next to YouTube
Keep videos on YouTube. Put the PDF, notes, and club in a Kahana hub so the pack is not a comment thread.
Learn more
Public-domain ebooks
Import a public-domain scan from Internet Archive, then add notes, structure, and a club when the rights allow.
Learn more
Build your stack around Kahana
Whether you publish or you learn, keep the tools you already love. Kahana is the library beside them.
