Substack

one of WeWrite's Competitors . Substack is a newsletter site where authors monetize their newsletter.

Each article on Substack is a dead Post flung onto the Content treadmill like most Traditional Social Media

WeWrite is different in that you're not monetizing a newsletter of essays, but rather you're monetizing living documents in an interconnected web of thought.

On Substack, you post it and you write the next one. On WeWrite you tend to your knowledge garden over time, connecting all the dots, like an ongoing research project.

Embarrassing that they have videos. Substack has video

If we migrate substack writers over to WeWrite, they'll probably need to split up their long pages

GitHub for Thought rather than a bunch of essays

When you edit a Substack article, it sends another email as a reply. Horrible UX. On WeWrite, each page is a living document, to be edited forever and ever
