Being able to compose posts on one’s phone is a huge unlock. Most of the writers I know do their work on their phone as they move through their day. Not having to then move that all over to a desktop makes life a LOT easier.
I think I like the paywall archive the most. I like having my content be free but it might be nice to force someone to pay to read the really terrible stuff I wrote in the beginning.
A big shoutout to Substack for releasing tons of new features at a fast pace! You guys are really pushing the envelope and making it easier for people to create content and share it with the world. Keep up the great work! #SubstackRocks
I love all of these new additions. The settings redesign is a plus, and I can't wait to be able to write/edit on my (Android) phone! The only addition I do not like is the badges. If there was a way you could also honor/recognize the folks who are contributing great writing but who do not have thousands of subscribers, that would be preferable. Not everyone comes with huge followings, and it is discouraging to folks who are just starting out. We should be pursuing quality writing and substantive ideas instead of numbers, elitism, and popularity.
Excited to see in-app writing/editing in the list of new features. That'll be really helpful on the go. Hoping we get chat on desktop sometime in the near future, which would be awesome.
The redesign of the Settings page has been a welcome addition. Thanks for that!
The "bestsellers badges" remain a despised abomination that masses of us spoke loudly against on their roll-out, yet Substack continues to promote. Why? I am now consciously aware of them wherever I read and have made the decision to instead place my support behind unpaid and smaller paid publications without the obnoxious badge. Had the badges not been there, the income of authors I read would never have been on my radar. What the badges stand for is grotesque. Substack should make display of badges optional for authors so we can see who the vain and shallow status-seekers writers are and decide for ourselves whether or not to support them.
Omg, composing on the iPhone app is amazing. I do most of my writing on my phone and this makes it so much more seamless. The continued innovation is extraordinary.
One major addition to that as an early tweak: ability to save as drafts from mobile, in case further edits on desktop or for an editor to review and publish.
I am new on Substack, but enjoying it so far. In comparison to my blog – too much non-writing work to have the simplest blog – I am able to focus on writing. Really boosted my productivity. I am excited about the paywall to archive option too.

Getting that first badge of 100 paid subscribers is my goal for 2023 ❤️🔥
In-app editing?! SWEET ECSTACY!
The features are so so bomb and much appreciated, Substack team!

Paywall archive is 🔥

Awesome sauce. Hopefully soon you can add keywords to each article for the platforms search engine.

I just noticed the Settings redesign today. It looks great! Thanks for making it easier to find these things. Keep up the great work, team!
At times when I try to leave a comment, I find it closed to all but paying members. That's the main reason I keep mine free.
In-app posting is a huge deal.
