I'll pass along a couple of requests I've made in the past. First, I wish there was a way to find other television or media-related Substacks. There is a plenty of attention for genres such as Food or Literature, but there's no highlighting of this just-as-important genre.
Second, I'd love to see a way to bundle Substack paid subscriptions. Allow writers to opt into a deal where they agree to take a reduced flat rate in exchange for the ability to be "bundled" with other Substacks. Imagine readers being able to choose three Substacks from a list for $10 per month. Financially, it's not much different than running discounted deals and bundles in any business tends to decrease subscriber churn.
...very intriguing idea. Indeed, for "growth", it is wise to be forward-thinking with innovation and competitiveness. Rick, if you don't receive a response, try contacting Substack via traditional methods. With some thought, your suggestion to "bundle" could really be A Winner. I fact...what if that concept were applied to all news outlets? This is a big, intriguing idea with exceptional possibilities.
Dear Substack team: I appreciate this column, and read it, even though I am a Substack reader, not a Substack author. However, I wonder if there’s not a another column more specifically aimed at Substack readers. Is there currently such a column?
As a daily Substack user I have a number of suggestions for how to make my experience with the Substack app better. Where should Substack readers post suggestions for improving the Substack app? Thanks
That's a really excellent point. A lot of the content is geared more towards writers, but of course, readers are crucial to the success of the site, too. They do have the 'Substack Reads' page, which showcases some of the best writing on here, which you can find here: https://read.substack.com But these announcement articles about new features are probably the best place to post suggestions and feedback, particularly ones that are talking about the app if you have ideas for that. The Team do usually read the comments and will hopefully see it... 😎
Hi, thanks for these additions. I've been including a Voiceover reading with my posts lately, but as far as I understand, do not get any reporting on how many visitors actually listen to them. Any plans in store to include that kind of data?
This post would have been a great opportunity for you to do the right thing and link to or embed my viral meme that inspired you to create "Substack Summer"
It's problematic to take phrases and ideas from the writers on your platform without credit, and extra problematic in this case because I'm a writer & social strategist who names "internet things" for a living.
All wonderful, and the Lives are going well. Thank you. On the subject of categories, please, please, please could we have a Home and Garden category? There is currently no home for garden-related writing apart from Design, so potential readers have to try really hard to find it! Thank you Substack....
These latest iterations are great, but the TK notices have been REALLY helpful for me. I usually leave my drafts littered with them, and it's nice to be reminded to clean everything up before shipping a new post.
Is there a way to allow "color" or highlights for embedded hyperlinks? The only way to, otherwise, identify my embedded sources is with the auto-underline...or traditional, end-of-content citations.
The live video is a great addition. That will really help drive engagement, and will be a fun new way to interact with readers. Also, I'm celebrating my one year anniversary milestone here on Substack this week! It's been an incredible journey so far, and I've loved every moment of it... 😎 You can find a Post I wrote about it here: https://chrisjfranklin.substack.com/p/celebrating-one-year-on-substack
I want to send a personal check to make an annual subscrition. I don't give out my creditcard online for fear of being hackedl How can I pay MS Richardson with a check?
Love the additions. Would also LOVE to see an LGBTQ category tab. So many great queer creators who would love a home on Substack.

Nice to see an image editor in place.

Please make the TOC opt-out. I use headings stylistically, not necessarily as navigation points.
Things are getting busy! Nice work guys!

LOVE the addition of the TK markers. Thanks, Substack!
