Progress on the Twitter List of Substacks

And an idea for "The Randomizer"

I'm working on a longer post. But it's not ready yet. It will be good… ☺️

In the meantime, here's a short post.

1) The List

The list of Twitter accounts for Substack newsletters and their creators is now at over 1500!

I feel it's easier for a Substacker to be noticed in a timeline of 1500 (or eventually 5000) accounts than in all of Twitter.

People looking for Substacks in this list might follow your account and subscribe to your newsletter, which is even better. 😃

Anyway, I hope the list is helpful. Let me know in a comment or by email if you'd like to be added.

Consider a paid subscription if you want a more specific or different list of newsletters on Substack or in social media.

2) The Randomizer

What if you could click a button and get a random Substack? 🤔

You could visit either a newsletter or a post at random. Regarding posts, you could get a random post or discussion in the past 24 hours, week, month, or ever.

This is just an idea. It might be difficult to implement. Substack might not allow it.

But wouldn't it be cool? Also, egalitarian: you'd be as likely to get an obscure newsletter as a famous newsletter that published on a similar schedule.

Anyway, it's an idea I intend to explore. If the random button isn't something I can do, I might try a Google Programmable Search Engine. (A custom search engine might be even better than a random button for discoverability.)

Your paid subscription would support such projects (*hint hint*). It could also support other projects that you'd like to happen. Let me know if you've got an idea for something I might work on for you.
