Google Reader, which y'all claim to love, supported reading any blog, not just Google's owned Blogger.

You could have done the same thing and built a generalized newsletter app.

But instead you built a reader just for Substack, which is clearly built to lock in an open ecosystem, just as medium tried with blogging and Spotify is trying with podcasts.

You can add any RSS feed to the app via reader.substack.com. As long as other newsletter providers support RSS, this should be no problem.
