Any Substack newsletter you already subscribe to will automatically silkiness up, and if you want, you can add third-party RSS feeds, too.

The target was to "create a diversion determining space" for bodies whose email inbox isn't their platonic reckon experience, Substack CEO Chris Best told The Verge.

(In-line reckon is "something we are strongly because for the future," Substack co-founder Hamish McKenzie wrote in an email to The Verge.)

The reader conjointly separates out podcasts revealed through Substack, and it shows a lock figure next to subscriber-only newsletters, which could help to highlight just how much non-paying readers are missing out on. Anyone will be stalwart to sign up for the beta starting today. At launch, it's only spouseless on the web. Rubberlike apps are "something we'll squinch at," All-time said.

Longer term, the service may inescapably harmony Substack a tract to start advising contrasted newsletters to existing users. "I anticipate among among one of the reasons that we anticipate an sensibleness like this could be really good-tasting is it could be a way to espy new writers you appetite to subscribe to," All-time said.

As Substack adds discovery features, All-time said the service will stay yonder from putting "a monopoly of clicky being in there that's super tantalizing," and stick to the platform's existing target of fostering a self-assurance enclosed readers and writers they can trust.

Substack is computation some bones new discovery features to its website today, too.
