New Feature: Join my chat
Today I’m announcing a brand new addition to my Substack publication: the #WhiteTooLong subscriber chat.
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.
I’ve just kicked off the first chat, asking readers to share their best recent reads, including one that is off the beaten path. Please do jump in and help introduce each other to some new books and writers.
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.
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.
This current limitation to iOS and Android is really disappointing.
Please be sure to inform us when a Mac OS desktop version becomes available as I would love to join the chats, but much prefer to type anything longer than single sentence responses on a regular keyboard.
