Finally! This was much needed and was probably the one thing that wasn’t cool 😄. What would also be cool if you guys fixed the eBook PDF attachments to appear cooler than just an attachment, perhaps allow to upload the image of the eBook along with the attachment. Thank you Substack.

Oh yes, totally. A filter specifically for PDF so that we can oembed them with the same types of options you offer for embedding chats, notes and the like (small-medium-large) would be awesome.

Couldn’t be more excited about this! Video is months ahead of our content strategy at Earn Out Loud, but it’s something we’ve thought about over and over. Our biggest concern was customizing the experience for readers, and before this update it just didn’t seem possible on SubStack. Based on these updates, that’s no longer a concern.

Would be a nice improvement!

This technology requires us to put our face on when we use Substack and prune back our ZZ Top beard. Quite possibly a great service to humanity.

I like the ZZ Top look. Takes decades to grow them beards. “Jesus Just Left Chicago” indeed!

Will certainly reduce the number of "surprise it's me" heart attacks!

When will creators be able to edit posts within the app?

Expand full comment

Personally, I can't use the app at all. I don't like that the backgrounds, the colors, and so many other things are completely different from the browser version.

It still needs some work design-and-functionality-wise in my opinion.

I love all the innovation I see here, amazing amazing job, the energy here feels pristine. Thank you team!

Awesome We have distributed solar. Now we have distributed creation!

Subtle but profound point.

Newspapers remain staid. Substack becomes paid. Good for the unusual yet popular voice.

We need an alternative payment method to stripe for subscriptions. There are many countries where that method still does not work. Please add PayPal or equivalent so we can offer subscription to our audience. Thank you

Any plans to let us post videos direct to Notes?? I would love that and think it could be a game changer. Appreciate the consistent progress and updates in any case! ❤️

Awesome. Not that I use it much. My headset was repaired (by me) using some old leggings, so instead of dying a decade ago, it is still going strong. But people laugh when I wear it and say I look like Princess Leia. So I am probably not ready for video yet. :-)

This made me laugh out loud. I think that would be a great look actually.

I really should get a pic. Wouldn't use it as my profile pic, though. Too surreal, even for the trippy bits of my fiction.

🤔 leggings. Good idea, been trying to figure out how to fix the frayed wire in my headset...

Why can't we embed Rumble videos? Will that be happening?

Question: Can this be used to create Lessons that can be paid for as a one time visit. Of course, you want people to do monthly - but sometimes it is the "first step" that is the hardest. I would like to create Art Lessons that could be sold here.

I have used videos in my posts via YouTube. From YouTube into Substack. I am hoping you can go in reverse from Substack TO YouTube. I absolutely will not use tictock. Instagram is on phone, tablets, and such. YouTube is on your TV. Therefore, from Substack to YouTube....

Yes, we can then build to the monthly. One step at a time. And it would make selling a LESSON so very easy!

Finally a place to do my yuck or yum series where I eat food and then announce if it’s yuck of yum

Each episode will cost $40

We produce a weekly video show, so we love to see this.

I love that they've delivered this WITH the combination of searchable transcripts.

I've used Google Meet so recordings go directly to Google Drive, then I upload them directly to Vimeo. I then fool with the Vimeo settings to embed in Substack... but this is better because I can skip Vimeo as it gives me little other benefit other than the transcript.

Though upload from Google Drive WOULD be sweet. 🤔

I mostly share YouTube videos, but I might have to use something I filmed myself in the future, so being able to upload it directly is huge!

I'm so happy for you!

I was hoping a product like this would be created for this platform. I've joined at the right time. Thank you! 🎉🥳🎈
