Great! Now we just need access to the chat from the website from desktops aswell. At least us writers so we can easily moderate and answer quickly. Typing on the phone is ultra slow compared...

@substack regarding video beta: For me there is no use in uploading an exclusive video on Substack and only on Substack. Embedding a YouTube video is fine because you can generate clicks on YouTube (and earn money with it).Nevertheless, I think it's smart for people who offer a paid newsletter with exclusive content but for creators who want to amplify their message... well.... it doesn't make any sense. I'd love to know what your intention is. Thanks!

That's great! Still hoping for an in-browser version, but this is great.

Sidenote: what happened to office hours this week? I knew it was cancelled last week, for obvious reasons, but I thought it was supposed to come back today.

This looks like a good idea, although it can become a double edged sword. Hopefully everyone keeps in mind that it is the Internet, and she can be cruel.

A non-chat related question, but: is there any way of seeing the conversion rates for the one-week free subscription offer? I see a lot of people sign up to a paid subscription whenever I send a paywalled post with a free preview, but I don't know that I'm seeing those same people continue the paid subscription past the first free week. Is there anyway I can see these numbers? Thanks :)
