VTC Articles App

A Modern Solution for Content Creation and Community Engagement

In today’s digital landscape, creating and sharing content is more critical than ever. For space owners and community leaders on the VTC platform, the Articles app offers a seamless way to publish blogs, news, tutorials, and knowledge bases—all within their community ecosystem. Designed as a shared app on VTC, Articles provides rich editorial tools, public SEO pages, and flexible publishing workflows, empowering authors to build discoverable content without leaving the platform. Whether you’re a business owner, educator, or creator, Articles equips you with the tools to publish professionally, engage readers, and even monetize content—all while maintaining full control over your space’s narrative.

Key Features for Content Creation and Management

The core of the Articles app is its intuitive rich text editor, built with Tiptap to support headings, lists, quotes, alignment, and more. Authors can customize text color, highlight key sections, and add hero images with cropping or AI generation via FLUX Schnell and FLUX Kontext. The editor includes autosave functionality, eliminating the risk of lost drafts, and offers real-time previews alongside AI-assisted writing tools. Each article includes metadata fields such as title, subtitle, slug, tags, and SEO settings, ensuring content is optimized for both readers and search engines.

For teams requiring collaboration, the app supports a publishing workflow with statuses like draft → pending review → published → archived. Space admins can configure access rules, allowing either direct publishing by members or requiring admin approval. This flexibility ensures that teams can maintain editorial standards while streamlining the content creation process. Authors also gain visibility into their work via the “My Drafts & Reviews” section, while admins manage queues for drafts, pending content, and published articles.

Public Discovery and SEO Optimization

Published articles are fully public and indexable by search engines, making the Articles app ideal for building a SEO-friendly blog or newsroom. Each space has a canonical URL at https://articles.vtc.com/space/{groupId}, with individual articles accessible via /space/{groupId}/{slug}. The app automatically generates robots.txt and sitemap files, ensuring Google and other search engines can efficiently crawl content. Spaces can also leverage RSS feeds for distribution, with feeds available at /space/{groupId}/rss.xml and supporting up to 50 recent articles.

SEO is further enhanced through Open Graph metadata, per-page canonical URLs, and Google Search Console integration. Authors can generate SEO packs using the AI assistant, including title suggestions, meta descriptions, tags, and hero image prompts. For paid articles, summaries and RSS excerpts remain hidden until unlocked by readers via platform credits, encouraging engagement while protecting premium content.

Monetization and Revenue Sharing

One of the standout features of the Articles app is its monetization model. Authors can set a price in platform credits per article, allowing readers to unlock content using their VTC wallets. Revenue is split 50/5y between authors and the platform, with earnings tracked via the VTC /earnings dashboard. This system makes it easy for creators to generate income from tutorials, product guides, case studies, or exclusive content without relying on external platforms.

The app also supports free and paid article coexistence, enabling spaces to offer a mix of open and premium content. Readers benefit from clear indicators of article accessibility, while authors gain control over who can access their work. This flexibility is particularly valuable for communities offering memberships, training programs, or paid newsletters.

AI Writing Assistant for Enhanced Productivity

The AI writing assistant in Articles is powered by DeepInfra, offering authors a suite of tools to streamline the writing process. Available models include Qwen 32B (default), Llama 3.1, DeepSeek V3, and Llama 4 Maverick, ensuring high-quality outputs across use cases. The assistant supports content creation in multiple formats—such as tutorials, news, reviews, and promotional copy—and allows customization of tone, audience, and reading level.

Key AI features include:

• Full article generation from prompts or outlines

• Rewriting and optimization of drafts or selected text

• SEO metadata generation, including titles, meta descriptions, and FAQ suggestions

• Hero image generation and refinement using AI prompts

• Research briefs and structure improvement for clarity and flow

This integration is especially valuable for explaining complex topics like VTC, Posif, super apps, or spaces—allowing authors to generate accurate, engaging content with minimal effort.

Admin Controls and Customization

Space admins have granular control over the Articles app, ensuring alignment with community goals. Configurable settings include:

• Publish access rules: Admin-only publishing, direct publishing by members, or approval workflows

• Sales and analytics: Track article unlocks, reader engagement, and earnings performance

• Default categories and site URLs: Standardize content organization and link back to the space’s main website

• Theme and localization: Support for light/dark themes, accent colors, and multi-language stubs (English, Spanish, Portuguese)

Articles is a core VTC app that any space can install from the VTC App Catalog. Each space has its own isolated articles, settings, permissions, and data, while sharing a common application platform. Unauthenticated visitors are directed to a connection page where they can join or create a space, while authenticated users gain direct access to their space's content.
