What are 3 new features you would like to add to Substack or Revue? My list is: - automatically generated opt-in landing pages for different lead magnets - cross-posting to Telegram - well-designed content calendar Share your thoughts!

Or maybe a compilation of weekly best posts of all writers I subscribed on :)

I'm guessing from the perspective of a newsletter writer? I'm not a writer, but I am talking to many of them lately 😊 Here are some things that fall short: * Options for integrations / api access - many creators chain together different tools (eg. community). Substack is completely closed. * Better analytics - the analytics of Substack are fairly mediocre and only help with surface-level understanding. * Same ways to display my ever-green content better

@corvin_deboeser Very interesting thoughts, Corvin! Can you pls explain a bit more about displaying ever-green content? What could be ever-green and how do you prefer it should be displayed? To be honest, thoughts from readers perspectives are interesting too :) We're building a kind of competitor (surfaces.one) with a focus exactly on lead magnets so your opinion is extremely helpful!

@vasilina_leushina Great to hear it helps 😊 And already now good luck for surfaces.one! Ever-green content remains relevant long after it's been posted / written. If you write about news, it's probably not ever-green, if you write about eg. engineering leadership, this will stay true for a long time. From a reader perspective: Imagine a writer has 200 newsletter issues about eng leadership and I need to find the issues about hiring junior devs - it's really hard to do that. Form a writer perspective: I write newsletters say every week. After maybe 3-4 weeks, my newsletters hardly have any views / engagement anymore and I can't use them to attract more readers. Hope that makes sense.
