App notifications are not a feature but a detrimental annoyance.

Also useless, because it is very likely you cannot read the article at the moment you receive the notification, because you are busy.

I don't know what Substack is, but it seems similar to Medium, and as such an app is unnecessary. You don't need apps to display and read text, I already have a web browser. Distraction-free reading? Just make sure your pages are compatible with Reader View, or better yet, make a distraction free design in the first place.

Some people like notifications. If you don’t want them, they are easy to turn off.
