One problem about which the programming team might not be aware is that their admirable skills as seen with innovations like the above- can be intimidating for those of us who are technological troglodytes.

For example, I have a formatting question that is so basic, as to be unaskable, but of burning importance for site workability, and yet am embarrassed to even ask. I know Support is busy, and the key questions on Product Development have nothing to do with the issue, so I can't even put it there. In the meantime, there are plenty of less exciting but actually important fixes that would really help. For a very few;;

1. In the same way that the system alerts a user if they are about the post an article without buttons, could you put some sort of occasional alert on the back-end emails? I was shocked - shocked, I tell you! - to find that somehow the email template in settings going out to free subs was empty. I suppose it is my fault, somehow, but I can clearly remember having filled it out. This sort of thing should be avoidable.

2. PLEASE darken the fonts in the new posts (where is asks to specify a Section is practically invisible). Anyone with any kind of visual disability has a terrible UX with Substack. And that goes for these chat boxes too.

Thank you,

CD
