Dot Com Press is a book publisher designed for the internet age, and dotcom.press is its home.
dot com et al. explores the history, economics, and artistry of domains. I expect to publish it sometime in 2026, and it will be available in many forms: print, web, ebook, audiobook, email newsletter, podcast, etc.
I used Cloudflare to register dotcom.press and set up email forwarding for hello@dotcom.press and support@dotcom.press.
I used Val Town to set up a custom email signup, verification, and sending workflow.
Search is available thanks to Pagefind. I wrote a tutorial on setting up Pagefind with Next.js, which covers both the pages and app routers.
The monospace text you see on dotcom.press is set in Commit Mono. Not only do I love this typeface (I use it in my editor), but its website is amazing. I also use Newsreader as the site's serif font.
This web app uses Next.js with the app router.
This app is styled using vanilla CSS via CSS modules.
