Submission and payment flow
The first release can be static-first while still handling real submissions through hosted integrations.
- User reads submission rules
- User completes hosted intake form
- User completes small payment
- Submission enters editorial review queue
- Approved letters are published to the archive
Good enough for v1
- Hosted form for intake
- Hosted payment provider
- Manual moderation/publishing workflow
- Static archive pages
Later upgrades

- Author dashboard
- Structured metadata and search
