What exactly is Substack announcing? Confused.

@odd i remember it coming out - but I never saw it - not my cup of tea - but this is a different cocoon

@JohnPhilpin The Cocoon app remains independent of Substack but the team who made the app will now be working for/on the newsletter platform, I think.

@JohnPhilpin @odd Maintaining/updating the app mustn’t have been enough to keep them busy. Oh, and you probably would have liked the film. I thought it wasn’t my cup of tea but I loved it.

@artkavanagh so how different to them just taking on a contract with substack? The release reads more than that / but this is what it seems to be.

@artkavanagh maybe I shouldn’t judge by the genre … noting to take a look

@JohnPhilpin omg that was a freaking amazing movie!

@JohnPhilpin I agree it’s not very clear. Maybe they haven’t yet figured out themselves how it’s going to work.

@artkavanagh premature announcement then!

@cambridgeport90 hmmm - the 'ayes' seem to have it !
