How do I find my notes on Substack Notes. I created a note two days ago. I'd like to view it. There doesn't seem to be a "note history" where I can see these.
I’m sort of an “apple snob” in that I’ve always been amazed at the intuitive design and flawless functionality of their products; at least the ones I use. Maybe Substack is just more complex than I can even imagine! HOL
It usually remains (and grows even more) complicated unless developers/designers make a conscious effort to simplify. (Former designer/developer speaking.)
I wonder why my first reply (a) didn’t sort within this chain but instead filed at bottom of everyone’s messages? (a) “Thanks for replying. After I sent my message, I couldn’t find it! HOL Now that your reply is In “activity”, I’ll keep you posted if I find anything too! HOL“
Also this reminds me a little bit of 1200 baud character-based email in terms of being a very preliminary design and functionality. Not complaining just surprised. This is 2023 isn’t it! HOL
When we had the 110 baud modem where you put the phone handset into the modem cradle, we kept a baby's squeaky hammer around, and would occasionally whack the handset with the hammer. That would transmit about 20 characters of nonsense. This reminds me of that.
Brings back memories. I have been programming computers since 1962 (!), and in one of my jobs I had to test a data transmission app called "Kermit". I remember using a handset modem (I forget whether this one was 110 or 300 baud), and I would tap on the handset with a pen or pencil to generate noise and see how well Kermit was able to recover from the errors.
I don't know how to access the comments to Notes. It is very frustrating. When I click the comment icon under a note, a window appears allowing me to comment but I cannot access previous comments to a note.
Cool! Will there also be something similar to Twitter Lists? I'd like to organize the topics I follow into lists. Information overheard from many different things is a problem to handle.
That's a great idea! We know people want more control over what shows up in the feed and it's top of mind how we might build tools for you to curate that.
If you only want to see notes from a writer, and not subscriber to their publication, click the three dot menu on their profile and select “See notes from [writer].” This is only available on web.
For some writers, to whom I am not subscribed, the menu option says "See more from [writer]" rather than "See notes." Clicking "See more" does not seem to do anything.
I really want the notes to show up on my main substack blog site too!!!!

Let me know if you find the answer! :-) HOL
Me too: Robert Sain
Nothing so far...

Software is hard to get right. Usually, it gets very complicated before it gets simple.

Oh, first time I clicked “reply”, which seemed reasonable.

Same here. Have you found a solution yet? Please share if so. Thanks
You click to the side of the note for which you want to see the comments. Hope it works for you.
Thankyou! I could _not_ figure this out!
Didn’t work for me
Thank you!!
Right?! What’s up with that? It’s frustrating!
I can't even find the note I wrote. 🤣

why am I seeing Notes from people that I am not subscribed to??
I've heard you can subscribe to someone's notes without getting their essays in your email, but I seem to be doing it wrong. Help?
(I'm enthusiastic about Notes in part because I do want to subscribe to many more people without choking my email.)
Will we be getting a hashtage feature?
How do I search for a note that I've already read, but appatently did mot save?
I've got this problem too.
Why do my replies not show up on my notes list? Where can I see my replies?
Did you ever figure this out? I have the same question.
Hi, question about this bit:
If you only want to see notes from a writer, and not subscriber to their publication, click the three dot menu on their profile and select “See notes from [writer].” This is only available on web.
For some writers, to whom I am not subscribed, the menu option says "See more from [writer]" rather than "See notes." Clicking "See more" does not seem to do anything.
PDF's can't be shared.
Can't write in Markdown.
Character limit? Who knows?
Very helpful — Thank you!
Is there a way we can auto post to Notes from an RSS feed or otherwise?
is the edit feature down currently? I was able to edit a note last night, but not today.
Are you on the app? You can edit on the web but not in the app yet.
I just started. Wrote a little note. Now I can't find it.
> We dare you to try to figure out the character limit.
4200, substack IPO at $42.00 confirmed but why not 4269?
On the iPhone Substack app I’m still not understanding how to post a note
Hey Michael, from the Notes tab you should see a "+" button. From there, you can compose and post a note.
FYI: Notes Tab didn't show up until I force quit the app...
Hey, same for me!
Figured it out 👌👌
I think some of us are still waiting for the app update to push out. I don't have it yet on iPhone, although I've been playing with Notes on the web.
