@martyswant @Substack lots of great options! would obviously love for you to choose substack but let me know more context about your vision and perhaps I can offer some takes/experience/advice. wishing you the best whichever you choose!

Alright everyone, it's time to start gathering more hot takes, first-hand experience and thoughtful advice. Which one: @Substack vs. @beehiiv vs. @Ghost?

(I know there are plenty of upsides and downsides with each.) Happy to share more context for those interested!
