I really, really love that I can't keep up with all the improvements you're making at the moment. Always something new to geek out with. Substack, you are collectively the Tony Stark of newslettering. Thank you for all these cool new flying metal suits to wear.
I love the new blurb feature - thank you so much. I'd love to be able to add custom blurbs, if possible. For example, a blurb from a reader comment or from a tweet recommending the newsletter, so it's not just limited to other Substack writers.
Yes! Helpful features, for sure. Please keep them coming. How about more flexibility in laying out pages with photos and art in various sizes all across, and up and down, pages?
Glad to see more product news from y'all, as always.
But I do have a rare complaint — I've been noticing "Subscribe" pop-up ads that appear without warning while I read other Substacks. Pop-ups are the bane of web reading, and I know that they'll throw off the reading experience I try to give in my own work. Is it possible to turn off pop-ups in my own Substack?
The recommendation blurbs are great! I have been adding blurbs to my About page. This is even better because non-subscribers see them automatically. Thanks!
I don’t have the ability to add a special offer to the paywall. It’s either 7 day free trial or pay full price. But I am running a special 80% off option for a specific series and can’t add it to the paywall. I can only add it as a button.
Also, I think we need to keep the stats on people who unsubscribe, free or paid. Maybe a separate section in the stats for that? I just had a long time free subscriber disable emails and now I can’t see what their activities were. Perhaps I could learn something about why they unsubscribed if I still had access to which emails they opened and which they didn’t.
Welcome page blurbs and the recommendations feature are excellent additions. I'm new here to Substack, but nonetheless, I get the sense that this is a place where writers tend to look out for each other and lift up each other's work.
I write my humble little blog here on Substack, and it's just amazing how often the Substack team adds new features! The platform is easy to use, clean looking, and it's just such a joy to type my latest post. The new poll feature is a fun way to get my readers to engage with my content, and I really appreciate the Unsplash feature too. Thank you!
I haven't tried the welcome page blurbs yet, but I definitely will. Looks really useful. I love how proactive the Substack team is.
One thing I'm struggling a bit with is that I'm finding it a bit challenging to find other writers who cover similar topics. The discover feature works OK if you're looking for something broad, but if you're looking for something specific, it can be more of a mixed back. Plus, many search results are Substacks that haven't been updated in a while. Being able to sort by activity would be useful there.
Related, the recommendation feature is great, but it would be helpful to be able to see all of the recommendations of the writers I subscribe to in a central location so that I don't have to click through every writer one by one to see their recommendations. That might help improve the discovery of relevant writers.
Anyway, thanks for listening to the users. Keep it up!
This is what I love about Substack! You all listen and implement with excellence. So love this platform.

I'm loving the welcome page blurbs! There are a handful of publications I recommend, and now more readers will know why. So much talent on Substack!

Thank you for the new features!! More text formatting options such as double paragraphing, font sizes, etc would be amazing!

I'd love for the polls to have more than five options and no expiration.
Two suggestions:

Real-time stocks pricing is amazing! And surprising not everyone still knows about it. So I try to let everyone know about it.
Cool product news! Now the only thing I need is for Substack to invent an AI humor writing program so I can call it a day 😁

Wow!!!!
You read my mind, Substack Engineers!
