Join my chat
A private space for us to converse and connect
Today I’m announcing a brand new addition to my Substack publication: the subscriber chat.
Nick: Much of the rest of this email is boilerplate from Substack, but here’s me (Nick) speaking. I’m testing this feature out because I feel like there’s a lot of latent potential in my email list of subscribers. Many of you have emailed me to chat privately before, and because I see similarities in many of our tastes, I thought it might be fun to open up a space for all of us to chat. I’m still figuring out how to use this Substack Chat feature and will need time to learn if this is a useful and meaningful medium for us, so I ask that you approach it with an open mind! 😊
This is a conversation space in the Substack app that I set up exclusively for my subscribers — kind of like a group chat or live hangout. I’ll post short prompts, thoughts, and updates that come my way, and you can jump into the discussion.
To join our chat, you’ll need to download the Substack app, now available for both iOS and Android. Chats are sent via the app, not email, so turn on push notifications so you don’t miss conversation as it happens.
Chat: What I’m writing in the next few months
Here’s the first Chat thread! (To join, you may need to do a one-time setup. For instructions, scroll below.)
How to get started
Download the app by clicking this link or the button below. Substack Chat is now available on both iOS and Android.
Open the app and tap the Chat icon. It looks like two bubbles in the bottom bar, and you’ll see a row for my chat inside.
That’s it! Jump into my thread to say hi, and if you have any issues, check out Substack’s FAQ.
