Hey Matt, I've been a reader since the days of the Exile. Just digging into your new book on Substack thanks to this thread! Chris and Hamish: do you plan to introduce a discovery option (like the App Store) for people to find who is on Substack, or are you expecting the writers to market their work independently? |

We want the writers to succeed, and while it's ultimately up to them to write something good enough that people want to subscribe, getting discovered is something we can help with.
Having a place to feature them will help with this (though it's less important right now than e.g. helping free posts get shared.)
In fact, we have a super basic version of this that we wrote in 20 minutes here: https://www.substack.com/discover but we have a ton of plans on how to make it better - most importantly by focusing on the author & publication as the key element rather than the post.
