CLUSTER MAGAZINE-DIGITAL-CULTURE · 68 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2010-05-26

Digital magazine subscription apps

This cluster consists of digital magazine apps and platforms that deliver curated, often subscription-based content across a wide range of topics, from niche hobbies and lifestyle topics to news and culture. The dated history begins in May 2010 and continues through 2025, with monthly entry counts mostly between 1 and 5, indicating a consistent but modest level of new entries across the period. Traction is led by established titles—New York Magazine, The New Yorker, and Harvard Business Review—which show the strongest activity signals.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
