Finally, here is a quick reminder about the Substack app.
If you’re already a subscriber, consider the app for a comfortable reading experience on tablets and mobile phones.
If you have your publication, you’ll appreciate how generous the Substack app is as a referral network. While thinking about that, did you know you can add or update recommendations for others at one convenient link: “your.substack.com/publish/recommendations.”
As long as you are logged in, the “your” subdomain will automatically redirect to your Substack domain and dashboard, where you can add recommendations for anyone. Neat, huh?
