We’ve heard from writers that they’d like more flexibility to customize the appearance of their Substack. Starting today, you’ll see a few new options for theming your newsletter.
i would love to have better analytics. Example, Unique views, Unique opens, and Unique Clicks. Readers have been getting emails via phone, desktop, etc. and it is counting it as multiple opens, when it really is not. I've asked them directly are they opening it up 18 times. Lastly, when someone unsubscribes, I like to know who it is vs. just disappearing so I can send a feedback form. Right now I have to download the list every week and compare lists. Not a good use of time.
The one feature that I want is the ability to create a 'series' of posts. For example I am writing posts on creating innovative Python Projects. It would be great if I can get the ability to group all similar posts in a series called 'Python Projects' and share it with my peers and subscribers. Additionally it would be great if I can customize the navigation bar as well. At present I don't think this feature exists in SubStack
I am a complete newbie, having just published my first post less than 24 hours ago. So far, so good, but I am curious whether I should be adding relevant hashtags at the very end of each post like many people do on Instagram. I am clear about adding three hashtags to the overall account, but I am wondering about best practices for each post. Please enlighten me. Thanks for your help in advance.
There's a message that appears within and at the end of my Substack posts: "Thanks for reading Michael’s Substack! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work." I would like to revise that message:
What I want is simple. The ability to have rich embeds EXACTLY like Revue or Medium. I'm not talking rich embed media like YouTube and Twitter. You have that already.
Just enter in the full URL of an article on the web and we get a small (or large) embedded card that I can edit the headline and copy. For me, this is the killer feature missing.
Hello everyone. I just started writing here on substack and it's been tough navigating. Please subscribe to my Newsletter and also check out my works. Thank you
Also maybe unintended, but the highlight color over articles is the welcome page color! Non-default fonts = more memorable website for repeat visitors.
Hey Substack nation. I would like to change how my posts appear in the outgoing email. I.E., cut off the post so a reader will have to click to jump into my substack to finish reading. Is that possible? Am I missing something? Many thanks.
I'm having trouble with the Edit your navigation bar. the section for editing each link is off set to far to left so that I cannot access the three dot edit menu on the far left.
How about a dark mode? I want bright during the day and dark during night.

Gifs, and the ability to embed links in comment text? PLEASE?
Hi - is it possible to edit font color within an a post? Thnx.
How does this affect what emails look like?

This is great — I would love to be able to adjust font size a bit, especially on threads.
Done and love it! https://jenniferbrogdon.substack.com/
There's a message that appears within and at the end of my Substack posts: "Thanks for reading Michael’s Substack! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work." I would like to revise that message:
1. To eliminate it within the post; and
2. To revise the wording at the end of the post.
Could you tell me how to do that?

(doesn't look great if the welcome page is black and the main page is white, FYI)

Hi! Is there any way I can put my 'short description' and subscribe button at the top of my homepage (not just my welcome page)?
