This week, Substack introduced its app — available only on iPhones and Mac computers for now, but soon available on Android and Microsoft laptops. The app will put all Substack newsletters you subscribe to in one place, and will present my newsletter in a dedicated inbox if you so choose. It will also prevent newsletters getting sent to spam folders or getting lost in other email filters. My longer posts also won’t get cut off by your email provider because of space and will run them right through to the end of whatever I’ve written that day.
