I just published my first note on Substack Notes. This new feature, Substack Notes, is what got Substack banned by Twitter. Elon Musk, who has had a hard time squeezing revenue out of twitterers, doesn’t like the competition. But short-form Notes complement the long-form essays that Substack writers do so well. It makes sense to have both in one self-publishing place — Substack.
Notes is a new space on Substack for us to share links, short posts, quotes, photos, and more. I plan to use it for things that don’t fit in the newsletter, like work-in-progress or quick questions.
How to join
Head to substack.com/notes or find the “Notes” tab in the Substack app. As a subscriber to In Search of Common-sense, you’ll automatically see my notes. Feel free to like, reply, or share them around!
You can also share notes of your own. I hope this becomes a space where every reader of In Search of Common-sense can share thoughts, ideas, and interesting quotes from the things we're reading on Substack and beyond.
If you encounter any issues, you can always refer to the Notes FAQ for assistance. Looking forward to seeing you there!
