Posts, Notes & Release Notes

Posts, Notes & the Room

You've got music to make... and fans who want to be close to it. On Sleeve, there are three ways you and your fans stay connected: Posts, Notes, and the Room. Each one does a different job.

Posts: tell the full story

Think of Posts like journal entries for your biggest fans. They're for deeper updates... stories, behind-the-scenes looks, unreleased tracks, new demos, tour diaries, or just thoughts about where your head's at.

  • Choose who sees it. Public, or just for specific membership tiers. Your call.
  • Make it rich. Add audio, video, photos, files... whatever helps tell the story.
  • Post now or schedule it. Drop something in real time, or plan a post to go live with your next release.
  • Trigger an email. Public posts go out to your followers by email. Member-only posts go to the relevant tiers. Write once... it lands on your page and in inboxes.
  • Start a conversation. Fans can like and comment.

Notes: quick thoughts, real connection

Notes are short updates... off-the-cuff, casual, low-pressure. A place to be real with your fans without overthinking it.

  • Visible to all your followers. Not gated by tier. Great for staying in touch with everyone.
  • No inbox spam. Notes don't trigger emails, so you can post often without overdoing it.
  • Conversations, not just announcements. Notes are easy to like and comment on, so fans can jump in too.

Notes are text-only today. More formats (images, video, mentions) on the roadmap.

The Room: where fans gather around your releases

The Room is the shared space on your artist page where fans talk to you (and each other) about your music. Every release has its own thread in the Room, and the Room itself collects all the threads for everything you've put out.

It lives at yourname.sleeve.fm/room on your site, with per-release threads at yourname.sleeve.fm/room/your-release-slug.

How fans use it:

  • A thread per release. Fans can drop a note about a specific album, EP, or single. Memories, questions, "this song got me through something," whatever they want to share
  • Sortable. Most recent, top-voted, by release. Fans and you can browse what's been said
  • Doesn't clutter the release page. The release page stays clean and presentation-focused. The Room is the conversation around it

How you use it:

  • Read what people are saying. The Room is also visible from your artist dashboard alongside your Posts and Notes
  • Reply. Drop into the Room to thank someone, answer a question, or just acknowledge a memory a fan shared
  • Use it as a barometer. What fans talk about in the Room is honest signal about which songs are landing and how

When to use which

  • Posts are your bigger updates. Use for stories, member-only content, releases-with-context, anything that earns the email send.
  • Notes are your day-to-day. Use for quick thoughts, "back in the studio," "just landed in LA," moments of connection that don't need a full write-up.
  • The Room is where the conversation lives. You don't post to the Room... fans do. But you can reply, and the Room is where you go to see what fans are saying about specific releases.

Use one. Use all three. Whatever fits your rhythm.

Where to find them

In your artist dashboard (open the Your Sleeve menu, choose Manage):

  • Posts and Notes... the Posts tab. Click New post to write one. The editor lets you pick post type and tier access.
  • The Room... your dashboard surfaces what's been said in the Room next to your own Posts and Notes, so you don't have to click into every release thread to see what's new. Threads themselves are visible to the public at yourname.sleeve.fm/room and per-release at yourname.sleeve.fm/room/your-release-slug.
