I'm trying something out. The guys over at @paragraph made me think it's worth cross posting stories I wrote for my Substack to this platform, too. This is my first attempt. What do you guys think? Any notes/advice? Are there certain things you think Paragraph is better for than Substack? https://paragraph.xyz/@kaufman/montanas-geological-unicorn-could-give-the-us-a-win-over-china

My take on it is that paragraph itself has pretty much non-existent distribution. But the integration with Warpcast is the differentiator- - automatic in-feed frames for reading, minting, & subscribing - in-app notifications of new issues - aggregation of Warpcast comments on the paragraph article itself So as Farcaster grows, so will paragraph's distribution network. That's when the unique features will show their true value.

I wouldn't discount the power of email & the newsletter functionality - being able to surface new writing in your reader's inboxes is a valuable piece of distribution. But if your point is on helping writers find new readers & audience growth, I think the point is fair. We'll always try to find ways to drive discovery within Paragraph, but that will almost always be less effective than helping writers share their work to higher-trafficked surfaces, which almost always means some sort of social feed. And building social feeds / platforms is massively difficult.
