Overall Satisfaction with Substack

In our company, we use Substack to write blogs and newletters to our investors / donors / other people interested in AI domain. We talk about how we collect data, principles of making a good codebase for Machine Learning etc.

I use Substack to write newsletter on the latest happenings in the world of technology. I'm a researcher who loves to research about new breakthroughs, new technologies, learn them. I run a community of people who want to learn about new techs and things happening in startup space.
  • Newsletter
  • Analytics
  • Integration with Twitter
  • Recommendation
  • It's really difficult when multiple people are editing the blog at same time. Some things change or get overwritten due to which have to reload the page multiple times. Would like to see an experience just like in Google docs.
  • Newsletter
  • Sharing updates easily
  • Analytics
  • Tracking important KPIs
  • Easy monetization
  • Marketing
  • Medium and Blogger
Medium is not so good for running newsletter. I find the mail that a user gets is very easily readable. Also as a creator it's very easy for me to track the analytics and monetise my blogs unlike Medium.

Blogger is a very old technology. The kind of integrations and the support for Markdown / different media is very great in Substack.

Substack is well suited for people who want to run a newsletter. Like it's really good to share updates on your product, or your learnings. It is not suitable to write a series of blogs on particular topic as you can't create a series. Every blog is separate, you can obviously link those but if you want to create a new series, then there is no place on the substack which user can see as album where they can see the relevant blogs in that album.
