Building growth tools for the Substack community @

[Gideon Wislang @0xGideon]

Four years ago, I built SubstackAPI to help a friend with his newsletter.

I ended up helping thousands of Substack writers grow.

Now I’m building https://t.co/ivaPQtoUIk to be the only growth tool they need.

Follow along if you’d like to be part of it.

@BreathingByEd Wild! DM me your email and I'll sort you out :)

Everyone’s busy promoting their Substack inside Substack.

But most people who’d actually subscribe don’t even know what Substack is...

That's why I built Supascribe.

[Gideon Wislang @0xGideon]

Been a little quiet here... fully focused on Supascribe. Stoked with the growth and response from the Substack community. 🚀

@0xfabsy @telegram @coingecko @ProductHunt @Pinterest @Medium @uxdesigncc @Behance @_buildspace @JabbaPro @1000_tools @hackernews @SaaSHubCom @substack Incredible work! So good to see the feed widget out in the wild 👏

If you've been affected, please send me a direct message with your Substack domain and email address. I'll make sure to send you your subscriber list so that any new subscribers gained during this period won't miss out on your posts!

🛠️ Just pushed an update to https://t.co/MwS9Q34UT3!
- Improved subscription failure prevention & handling.
- Backup servers for automatic retries.
- Optimistic subscription to limit response time.

More info on the situation below...

Substack has been experiencing some issues, which have now been resolved (https://t.co/4Oi5c2WPB9). This affected the Custom Embed tool, resulting in some users not receiving confirmation emails. The tool has since been updated to better handle these situations.

https://t.co/MwS9Q34UT3 has been experiencing some issues for the past couple days. I'm still resolving it and will continue to keep you updated. Any new subscribers captured during this time will be able to be recovered. Appreciate the patience. Hang tight 🤙

@bonjourdomain 2 months later and we finally recovered!

[Gideon Wislang @0xGideon]

I just destroyed my SEO.

Migrated https://t.co/S8x835Z2jp to https://t.co/m7eBtl2P0h and absolutely tanked my SEO and traffic! Redirected old pages and got the new sitemap and all that good stuff. GCP still “moving site” after 3 weeks. What have I missed? Calling SEO 🐐’s.

@awilkinson @raycastapp Just emailed you :)

[Gideon Wislang @0xGideon]

@dharmesh I built https://t.co/MwS9Q34UT3 ignore the widget and use the API endpoint. Let me know if you need help building the integration :)

Substack Feed Embed

The layout “center” wasn’t correctly shown in the preview. Pretty much no one used it previously because of this. All sorted on the preview front. Consider switching your layout to “center”!

[Gideon Wislang @0xGideon]

Migrated DNS to Cloudflare and accidentally unlocked the infinite redirect loop feature.

Sorry https://t.co/NoMH3tcLSg users! It’s all sorted now.
