What is planned

LibreTimes is in early access, and registration is open to anyone. This page is what is actually coming, as opposed to what would be nice. Nothing here has a date.

On LibreTimes

• Lecture courses as text. Whole university courses — the notes, the theorems, the problem sheets, the reading list — published as structured, bilingual text on the lecturer's own profile, with the lecturer's approval. This is the thing LibreTimes is being built around.
• One list for everything you wrote. Publications you host here and works you published elsewhere (a paper with a DOI, a preprint, a book chapter) become one list on your profile, with a badge saying which is which and where the full text lives. One "New" button asks for a DOI, a link or a title — or lets you start writing or import a file.
• Explore. Search, the feed, categories and recommendations on one page. Categories become something you subscribe to.
• Problem sheets. A dedicated problem-sheet type, with numbered problems, theorems and hints as blocks you can link to. See below.
• Public-domain classics. A reader for books whose text may be hosted — Euclid, Descartes, Spinoza and the like — with the original and a translation side by side, and every section citable by its canonical number.
• Notifications. In-app and email notifications for replies, follows, and mentions.
• Publication versions. History for a publication, so readers can see what changed.
• Source download. Letting readers export a publication's Markdown source, if the author opts in per publication.

Being folded into LibreTimes

Two things that started as separate sites are coming into LibreTimes itself, because a reader looking for a theorem or a chapter should not have to know which site we happened to store it on.

LibreProblems (problems.libretimes.io) has been folded in. Its problem sheets are LibreTimes publications of the problems type — one sheet per olympiad year, the days as sections inside it; each problem, theorem and lemma keeps a stable anchor, so a citation points at this sheet, problem 7 — which is how mathematicians actually cite. Every existing address redirects to the new place; nothing you have linked has broken. An olympiad's sheet is published by the olympiad's own organization page, with no person on the byline. A learning surface on this corpus — attempts, grading, progress — is planned for later, on its own address.

The library of public-domain books, which was being built as a separate site, becomes a reader inside LibreTimes instead — the classics on the same shelf as the courses that cite them.

One sibling product, planned

LibreJournal is the one thing that stays separate: an arXiv-style home for citable records – original research, preprints, review articles, reports, and theses – with versioned identifiers and an optional peer-review workflow. It will live on its own domain with the same account, so your CV follows you. It is not built and has no date. A frozen, numbered record is a different promise from an editable publication, which is why LibreTimes does not accept theses or preprints itself.

What is not planned

Some things get asked for often enough to be worth ruling out. LibreTimes is not going to become a general social network, a Q&A site, or an interactive courseware platform with quizzes and grading. Where an established site already does something well, the plan is to link to it rather than reimplement it. And where a text is free to read but not free to copy — most of arXiv, for instance — LibreTimes links to it rather than mirroring it.
