Is Substack Rolling Out Twitter-Like Features? Akp51v Explains

Content writer

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.

Schools and colleges occupy so much time in your youth. But what is the role of educational institutions?

In 2005, the legend, Steve Jobs, addressed Stanford University students. Like many who have watched it, I loved it and have written a blog post about how inspiring and eye-opening his speech was.

Content writer

I had several sites whose domain name server (DNS) records and domain registration billing had a lot to do with Google Domains. It was a beta project when I first encountered this user-friendly, straightforward, and fast DNS ecosystem that would get immediately verified by the Google Search Console (GSC). While I have enjoyed the freedom to create a hundred domains per domain name registration, Squarespace is about to take over Google Domains in a deal that the world's top search and ad network provider identifies as helpful in sharpening their business focus. In an article on Mashable about what Sqaurespace's Google Domains deal means for the site owners , I came across a site documenting the history of all the projects that Google has put aside or shut down. At the time of writing this, i.e., 29 August 2023, 01:45 PM, IST, the entry on this website discussing this domain registrar switch ranked first, as depicted in the following screenshot.
