New Features on Substack

In case you don’t subscribe to the Substack Blog (and you probably should), here’s a post yesterday on a few new features for writers:

New! Homepage links, restore post drafts, and improved stats page

In light of the blog post, I’ve added a few categories of links to the Sub Pub homepage. The links are like a “blogroll”; they contribute to the impression that a newsletter’s website is essentially a blog (which I think is a good thing).

I’m impressed by how many versions of drafts and posts are saved in draft history. Drafts were saved for all of my posts (even from months ago)!

Regarding the stats page, more stats are generally a good thing, as I imagine you’d agree. In particular, I’m happy to see the open rate for each post/thread all in one table.
