So, how is this very different from Substack? 

There are a few differences like the voice transcription, streaks, back links, integration with an LLM writing assistant etc. The font looks beautiful.  But I don’t understand its point fully. Is it paid? Is it free? I saw the creator’s note. The note itself is very crisp and pragmatic. But the point he makes stands - Nowadays, we have a lot of tools for writing and very few actual writing. I've seen a pattern.

Everyone's first post is always something like trials or experimenting with writing it again, restarting the writing bug, the blogging bug has bitten me again, or some variety of this, some flavor of this. But then it tapers down because it is eventually struck with the same problem that every habit suffers, consistency.

So, how do we remedy this? New tools are not the answer. You can write on a notepad if you want.

The real way is to just keep writing. It's not about the tool. The solution is not to migrate to a new tool every time it is found. I am trying this out too because it is shiny. But I doubt I will use this too much because I have a place where I have started writing. I would like to continue that. Maybe I will write in multiple places. Because the goal, again is to write.

Will this help me write code better than substack?

import sys 
print(sys.prefix)

Not really. The language syntax isn’t respected. Yet. Oh well. 

But overall, this environment looks pretty cool. A la “Notion meets Obsidian meets Substack” 

So props to them.
