Whichever of you on the team came up with Revenge of RSS—

I'm a reasonable drive away from Vegas if you wanna get married real quick.

Looking good! It seems the Substack team is making some improvement every week. I appreciate y'all trying to make the platform better on a consistent basis.

The reader looks great and I have really enjoyed it! Thank you for this!

A feature request that is more quality of life than anything, I would really like to be able to customize the "recommended" sidebar by tweaking whose publications add to that list. A majority of the recommendations are from "On Substack" or "Substack Community" and while obviously I wish to remain subscribed to those publications, I am less likely to be interested in what they recommend. There are some other publications I might want to customize so the recommended pubs are more likely to be things or topics I am interested in. I don't know how feasible this request is, and can't complain about how it is operating otherwise.

When are we going to have Substack for Android? I use Feedly as a news reader and I would like to change it to Substack but without an Android app it is not comfortable and Feedly does have an app.

I can't figure out how to turn dark mode off anymore – the option has disappeared for me and I've looked everywhere for it with no luck. Hopefully this option hasn't disappeared as I can't read light text on a dark background without ending up with a headache.

Dark mode! Keyboard shortcuts! Thank you 💚 🥃

I don't know exactly when this went live, but I've been using the new interface all weekend. I've added several RSS feeds and was delighted to see new posts from those sites populate in my feed right next to the Substacks to which I'm subscribed.

Kudos to the team that developed this. It's such an elegant implementation and does exactly what I want an RSS reader to do. We finally have a successor to Google Reader. THANK YOU.

Love this! For some of us RSS never left. I was just about to start adding my substack subscriptions to my feeds, now I might add my feeds over here instead :-)

Can't wait to dive in.

Why does the world think that everything should be for the phone? I like reading on my iMac.

Substack just keeps getting better and better for both writers and readers!

Hopefully this helps out with organic discovery for us little guys :)

I have looked and looked and looked, this option doesn't appear where it says it should. I only see "library" and "archive" and "+Add RSS Feed".

Honestly I was excited to see this article, because the time I spend on reading stuff I want to substack is practically zero (I just can't handle the white background everywhere.) Has someone removed this feature?

I cannot find the "Toggle dark mode" setting with the "Add RSS Feed" sidebar. Until yesterday I had dark mode on, but today it automatically reverted back to the default view, and I cannot find the dark mode option anywhere.

Please help.
