Join my new subscriber chat
A private space for us to converse and connect
Today I’m announcing a brand new addition to my Substack publication: the Shrew Views 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.
To join our chat, you’ll need to download the Substack app (messages are sent via the app, not email). Turn on push notifications so you don’t miss a chance to join conversation as it happens.
How to get started
Download the app by clicking this link or the button below. Chat is only on iOS for now, but chat is coming to the Android app soon.
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.
I’ve already started my first chat thread so come on over and say hello!
Thank you so much for such a wonderful blog or is this more of a website? While I own an iPhone 7Plus, as well as an M1 MacBook Pro, I would never use my iPhone for text chatting on your site, so I wanted you to know that after today, I am going to unsubscribe to your site. If Substack add's a "live conversation" feature to the MacOS version, I'll update to a paid subscription but I can't do this on an iPhone. God bless you and keep up the great work!
It is a very unfortunate that this feature is only available on the app really. Typing on a phone is no fun and does not really encourage complex coherent thoughts. On the other hand it would be good to discuss in the group, if it only where available in the normal web interface ...
