Wow that's a ton of input, thank you! 1. There will definitely be a way to import emails (not credit cards, just email addresses), so if you started sending emails from npub.pro people wouldn't necessarily need to be notified - they'd just receive your emails from a different provider. I guess you'd only need to notify people if they're active Substack users who prefer commenting etc on Substack. If there are many active Substack users among subscribers then it would make sense to not import the full list but invite people to re-subscribe on npub.pro. Could you please help me figure out the logic here? 2. Good editor is actually pretty hard to do. Would it work if you just composed a long-form post on Highlighter and then used npub.pro to turn the post into a newsletter issue and send to the email subs? 3. Paid subsciptions are a much bigger deal, especially fiat-related. There's a lot to explore there, so we're leaving it for later now. 4. Video/audio can already be uploaded via any nostr app and then you'd post with a link to that file, and then publish that post on npub.pro site and you'd get an RSS feed that's suitable for submission the podcasting ecosystem. We haven't polished the RSS/podcasting features bcs there are no active users of it yet, but the bones are already there. Example podcast
CITADEL DISPATCH

 Please let me know if the above points make sense and if you have more feedback. Thanks a lot!

1. If you have people in the Substack ecosystem with credit cards, and they’re getting everything — videos, podcasts, letters — unless it’s mirrored completely, it’s better for them not to be switched. But there is a minority that would probably volunteer their emails for new/extra content that went out via nostr. If the entire ecosystem were in place here, I would just import the entire list in that case. But if it’s only newsletters (and no payments), I would make it opt-in, and do different content for those users. 2. Yes, Highlighter is good, and that’s a good point. No need to re-invent the wheel — could just compose there, send via npub.pro. 4. I’ll look into it — some of the video files are 2GB or whatever though. And no problem — thanks for building these tools!
