Audience Portal: Saved Fanflets and Following

When you subscribe from a fanflet, Fanflet creates a personal portal for you at /my. Your saved fanflets live there, the speakers you follow live there, and your profile and email settings live there. No second password to remember. You sign in with a magic link to your email.

Who This Is For

The audience portal is for attendees. If you scanned a QR code at an event, dropped your email on a public profile, or saved a fanflet to come back to later, this is your home.

Speakers have their own dashboard at /dashboard. If you publish fanflets, read the speaker getting started guide instead.

What You Get When You Subscribe

Subscribing on any fanflet gives you a portal account on the same email. There is no separate sign-up step.

The Saved Tab

Saved is the default tab. It holds every fanflet you have bookmarked, newest first. Each card shows the speaker, the talk title, the event name and date, and how many resources are inside.

• Open. Tap Open talk to jump back into the full fanflet page.
• Filter by speaker. Chips at the top let you narrow the feed to one speaker you follow.
• Sort. Toggle between newest first and oldest first.
• Status badges. Live, Expired, and Unavailable badges tell you whether the fanflet is still reachable. Expired cards stay in your portfolio as a record of the talk.

The Following Tab

When you save a fanflet, you start following the speaker automatically. Following is your list of the speakers whose work you want to find again; a speaker publishing a new fanflet does not send you anything.

The Following tab lists each speaker you follow with their talk count, last shared date, and a profile link. Tap Following to unfollow. Tap View profile to jump to their public profile, where their upcoming and past talks are listed.

• Auto-follow on save. Saving a fanflet adds the speaker to Following.
• Unfollow per speaker. Drop one speaker without affecting the others.
• Re-follow anytime. Toggle the button back on if you change your mind.
• Email me about new resources. Each card carries this switch. It records your preference for a future new-resources email, but nothing sends yet (see Settings below).

The Settings Tab

Settings has three sections: Profile, Emails and Account.

Profile

Set a display name speakers see when you save or subscribe, and save it with the button under the form. Your email is fixed to the address you signed up with.

Emails

A New resources from speakers I follow switch and a How often choice (Instant or Off) sit here. They record what you would like to receive, but Fanflet is not sending new-resource emails yet: nothing is sent when a speaker you follow publishes, whatever these are set to. The only email you get today is the confirmation when you subscribe to a speaker. If the page shows a Daily digest notice, that option is retired too; pick Instant or Off.

Account

A red Delete account button starts a confirmation flow. You type your email and press Confirm delete. From there, deletion runs on a 30-day grace window before anything is removed, and a Cancel deletion request button stays on this page until then.

Bookmark by SMS Without an Account

Some fanflets show a phone number with an SMS bookmark prompt. Drop your phone number into the form and Fanflet texts you a link to the fanflet. No account needed. The link works on the device the text arrived on, so you keep the resources without setting anything up.

• One link per request. The text contains the fanflet title and the URL.
• Rate-limited. Two SMS per phone per fanflet per day, to keep things tidy.
• Privacy first. Your number is hashed before storage. Speakers do not see raw phone numbers from SMS bookmarks.

Email Subscribe Creates a Portal Account

Email subscribe and portal access share the same identity. The email you drop on a fanflet is the email you sign in with at /my. There is no separate password. Click Sign in, request the magic link, open it, and you land in your portal.

If you subscribe to multiple speakers from the same email, every save and every follow rolls up into the one portal.

Account Deletion and the 30-Day Grace Window

When you confirm deletion in Settings, your account enters a 30-day grace state. During those 30 days you reverse the deletion by signing back in and pressing Cancel deletion request. After 30 days, your account, saved fanflets, and follow records are removed.

• Removed. Your audience account, saved fanflets list, follow relationships, email preferences and subscriptions.
• Preserved. Anonymous analytics events stay with the speaker and the platform. They do not link back to you.

Privacy: What Speakers See, What You See

The data shared between you and a speaker is narrow on both sides.

• The speaker sees. Your email, your optional display name, the fanflet you subscribed from, and the timestamp.
• The speaker does not see. Your saved fanflet list, your other follows, your device, your IP, or your location.
• You see. The speaker's public profile: name, photo, bio, social links, and their published fanflets.

Analytics events on a fanflet are anonymous. A click on a resource does not get tied back to your audience account.

For Speakers Reading This

If you publish fanflets and want to understand the experience your subscribers see, read subscribers and list building. It covers the speaker side: how subscriptions roll into your subscriber list and how confirmation emails work. Publishing a fanflet does not notify subscribers or followers.
