Trendbook membership

Create freely. Publish with purpose.

Trendbook gives new curators room to build, experiment and establish their point of view before membership becomes necessary. Publishing allowances and membership access are managed through Trendbook's entitlement system.

Current standard policy
Up to 5 complimentary published looks

Draft creation remains available while your standard allowance is based on published looks. Once all complimentary publishing places are in use, Curator Membership is required to publish an additional look.

Drafts Create and develop privately

Under the standard published-look policy, drafts do not consume your complimentary publishing allowance.

Published looks 5 complimentary looks

Each currently published look occupies one complimentary publishing place.

Membership Continue beyond your allowance

Active Curator Membership removes the standard complimentary publishing restriction.

Flexibility Entitlements can vary

Founding, invited, professional or promotional accounts may have different allowances or access.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to subscribe before creating anything?
No. Under Trendbook's current standard policy, new curators can create drafts and use a complimentary publishing allowance before paid membership is required.
How many looks can I publish without membership?
The current standard allowance is 5 published looks. Trendbook can change this allowance or provide different allowances to specific account types.
Does a draft count against my publishing allowance?
Not under the current standard configuration. The standard quota measures published looks, so a private draft can be developed without consuming a publishing place.
What happens when I publish a draft?
A successful transition from draft to published consumes one publishing place. Trendbook checks the entitlement on the server before allowing the publication.
What happens when all complimentary looks are used?
Your existing work remains available. Under the standard policy, you can continue managing your existing content, but an additional publication requires Curator Membership unless you first free a publishing place.
What happens if I unpublish a look?
The look returns to draft status and its publishing place is released. You can then use that place for another look.
What happens if I delete a draft?
Its creation usage is removed from your account's current usage record. It does not affect your published-look allowance if it was never published.
What happens if I delete a published look?
The look is removed and its publishing place is released. Its current creation usage is also removed from the entitlement record.
Are the 5 complimentary looks a lifetime limit?
No. The current implementation treats the allowance as the number of complimentary published looks you can have in use at the same time. Unpublishing or deleting a published look releases that place.
Can Trendbook use a creation limit instead?
Yes. The entitlement policy can be configured to measure either created looks or published looks. This lets Trendbook change commercial rules without changing the curator's identity or payment account.
Can different curators have different allowances?
Yes. Trendbook supports account-specific entitlements. A curator may receive a larger complimentary allowance, unlimited access, temporary complimentary access, or another membership configuration.
What is a Founding Curator?
Trendbook can identify selected early or invited accounts as Founding Curators. This status can be paired with special publishing allowances or complimentary access. The exact benefits can evolve as the platform develops.
Does someone get access simply by changing something in the browser?
No. Publishing entitlement and membership status are checked by the Trendbook backend against the authenticated account. Browser values are not used as authority for ownership, subscription status or publishing allowance.
What if a publishing operation fails?
Trendbook reserves entitlement before a publication is committed. If the underlying look cannot be saved, the reserved place is released again so a failed operation does not intentionally consume an allowance.
What if my entitlement count becomes inconsistent?
Trendbook maintains usage counters for efficient checks, but the canonical look records remain the source used for reconciliation. Usage can be rebuilt from the account's stored looks when necessary.
Does membership affect public visitors viewing my looks?
No. Published looks remain part of Trendbook's public discovery experience according to their visibility rules. Entitlements govern curator creation and publishing capabilities rather than requiring visitors to authenticate simply to view a public look.
