@emd If you've got suggestions for an alternate platform I'm all ears. Not unaware of Substack's failings but its tools to rapidly produce a daily clippings newsletter simply aren't there on Ghost, etc.

David has a fabulously intelligent, informative daily political newsletter. He knows Substack ain鈥檛 great, but doesn鈥檛 know of any options.
Are there some?
this makes me wonder how @laurenshof puts together The Fediverse Report mail-outs. Are these different in scope from what David is talking about, or a manual way of doing it?
I wonder if this is something Ghost *could* add but doesn't have the demand for? I don't really understand how substack is operating under the hood, though, so not sure how the function he's referring to is built.
@emd On another thought, if the newsletter stuck on substack is literally just clipping other articles, I wonder if something like a bit of hacking around with the Obsidian web clipper + Obsidian publish accomplishes anything. I'm finding it janky but I don't know what I'm doing (and I'm not publishing, just trying to organize some clippings into a web page).
@johannab ya I don鈥檛 know about his workflow to make suggestions, unfortunately.
