I wrote a post about writing on Substack on my (tech-focused) Substack a few weeks ago [1]. TLDR it's helped cure my procrastination. Two further observations: - The fact that it is a newsletter service and articles land in people's inboxes makes me much more cautious about trying to ensure that the work is of sufficient quality than I suspect would be the case for a blog / medium. I don't want to be embarrassed and I don't want readers to unsubscribe. This seems quite different to Medium. - Substack's recommendation system does provide a very meaningful boost in subscriber numbers. There is quite a bit of concern though about whether this is reduces incentives for writers to attract new readers to Substack and so will ultimately harm the platform.
