Once again, I am deeply grateful to the Substack team for your continued commitment to growth.
I have Recommendations to thank for 10K new readers (nearly half of my 22.4k list).
I have a few feature requests I am hoping you will consider:
1) Recommendations listed on your homepage: Can you please add the ability to select which five recommendations are featured on our homepage? I currently have the homepage display disabled because I cannot control who is listed, and I would want to prioritize my top five.
2) Recommendations blurbs: Since we can only display three on our landing page, it would be awesome if Substack would create a separate Endorsements page where people can see all of your blurb recommendations (with the ability to uncheck any you don’t wish to be visible). This would not only encourage new readers to sign up but would also bring new potential readers to those providing the blurbs via the links in their citations.
3) Unrelated to growth, but PLEASE add the ability to embed videos from non-YouTube platforms such as Rumble, Odysee, and bitchute.
Thank you for everything you are doing on behalf of writers and readers!
I agree with this – especially the third request. In addition to those platforms, could we have the ability to embed videos from places like Gyazo?
I suppose I could just create a small YouTube channel if all else fails. Seems like such a waste, though – and YouTube's advertising really turns me off.
Thanks, Daniel! Creating a YouTube channel wouldn’t work for sharing videos from other platforms. I share hundreds of videos across my posts and have to go through a lot of trouble to take a screenshot of the video, embed the image, and then manually link each one. It would save me and many other Substackers a lot of time if we could simply paste in the url like we can do with YouTube videos.
I'll second that emotion! I'm sitting on an upublished-archive of over 300 podcasts. And I'd love to see Substack spend more effort on podcasting tools for audio and video creators.
Thank you, Libor, and congratulations on joining Substack. I am sorry, but that is an offer I cannot entertain. I must maintain the integrity of my blog and also cannot open up the floodgates to similar requests.
