Is Substack Rolling Out Twitter-Like Features? Akp51v Explains

Substack now plans to offer Twitter-like features called Notes. Like how you retweet a micro-post or tweet on Twitter, you can "restack" notes once the Substack website and smartphone apps enable this feature.

How did I learn about this update that might change how readers, writers, bloggers, marketers, and book authors experience using Substack? I received the related mail, written by CEO Chris Best, CTO Jairaj Sethi, and CWO Hamish McKenzie, on 5 April 2023 at 08:43 pm IST (Indian Standard Time).

What is Substack?

Substack is a newsletter management platform that has helped many bloggers and writers, including mainstream book authors worldwide, build revenue streams powered by their readers' subscription payments.

Remember how Patreon, Ko-Fi, and Liberapay have empowered content creators? They ask their fans, YouTube channel subscribers, or social media followers to offer a monetary reward on a recurring or one-time basis.

Now, think of Substack as a Patreon-like platform for writers. It has a smartphone app, Substack Reader, that you can use to enjoy free and paid newsletters written by your favorite writers.
