So how’s my search for a Substack replacement going? Honestly, it’s been frustrating. The fact is, Substack has the most comprehensive platform for email newsletters (thks to VC money!). The closest in features is Ghost, but the official service is too expensive ($50 per month for a newsletter my size) & I don’t want to install it on a server. Buttondown seems neat, but it is missing key features (search and static pages). I’ve tried newsletters on Wordpress before, but I didn’t like the result.
