About
Independent news for the people who build with Statamic.
antlers/news is the Statamic week from an independent point of view: the releases, addons and tutorials worth your time, and the best of what the community is building and writing, picked by people who build Statamic sites every day. One email on Friday, and the site whenever you need it.
We're 1994, a small UK agency that builds and looks after Statamic sites for a living. It had been a long time since there was a proper independent news site for Statamic, so we built the one we wanted to read.
We cover releases, addons, starter kits, tutorials and the people in the community, from quick wins in Antlers to running Statamic at scale.
Subscribe to the Friday email, send us a tip or a link, or pitch a tutorial at hello@antlers-news.com.
Independence
antlers/news is independent but blessed by Statamic: they know about it and are happy for us to use the name. It's run by 1994 Limited, and Statamic don't review or approve what we write. Statamic is a trademark of Statamic, LLC. For official announcements, read the Statamic blog.
Editorial principles
- Hand-picked. A person reads every link before it goes in. No automated feeds dressed up as curation.
- Sponsors are labelled. One sponsor per issue, always marked. Sponsors never choose or review what we write.
- Practical first. We favour what helps you ship: release notes, upgrade guides and working code.
- We fix mistakes. If something's wrong, tell us at hello@antlers-news.com and we'll correct it.
How we write with AI
Some articles are written with help from AI. Here's how that works:
- A person is always responsible. Every AI-assisted article is checked and published by a named editor, and says so on the page.
- Sources first. Drafts are built from the sources we link to: release notes, changelogs, documentation and the original posts.
- Quotes are exact. A quote must match its source word for word, or it doesn't run.
- No copying. A draft that repeats a source too closely can't be published until it's rewritten in our own words.
- Security stories stick to the official advisory. We don't speculate about vulnerabilities.
- Covers. Article illustrations may be generated by AI. They’re illustrations, never passed off as photos.
- Community links. A link's summary may start as an AI suggestion. An editor checks and edits every one before it's published.
Sponsor copy is never written by AI.
