alt Hacker NewsHow easy/difficult was it getting off the ground on substack? Did you get interactions right from your first post? Is there visibility for new writers?

Please x2.
If you could write a small guide, that'd be phenomenal.

I started using it to run a conference 4 years ago with the intent that it was supposed to be a temporary solution until we built a "real" site.
The experience was so good that we haven't moved off. Even if we did build a more formal conference site, we'd still keep the substack blog. The mailing list has grown from nothing to right at 1000 subs which isn't bad for something I do in my spare time. By far the most effective communication. Social media (all channels) are a fraction of the engagement that I get compared to substack.
