This is a good question. Unfortunately, it seems like the answer is no—but, I suspect, only for now. I can say that Substack is very aggressive about adding new features and, in my experience so far, very responsive to user feedback. Even before we launched, they were already coming up with workarounds for us regarding a back-end issue and wanted to get with their engineers for a more permanent solution.
Also, we do have the Discord server (the #1 perk for paying subscribers! along with the warm fuzzies of helping a site you love, of course). That's super rich in terms of multi-media.
I read this quote by one of the people who was on the moon and he talked about how by like the 3rd day it had become so normal that they were approaching it like a job. I bring that up because I'm not a big substack person so the interface will take some getting used to. But human beings we're all very adaptable and if a person can just adjust to being on the moon after 2 days, I'll adjust to this.
Exciting!
My gosh, the graphics are wonderful
Congratulations!
Testing the new digs. Here's to the future.
Good luck with the new venture👍🍻
Hmmm, let's see how the commenting on this new site works.
On DKE, it was easy to bold or italicize text, or add images and links to comments. Are we still going to be able to do that here?

Substack Notes does have those features, like bolding and Italicizing.
Will miss the Live Digest but all is good!
Isn't this site sorta the same thing..??🤔👆👆..I could be wrong..??
I still have a bookmark for Swing State Project, which Kos bought in 2011. Good luck!
This is going to take some getting used to, but from what I see, I like it.
Hope this works out. I'll miss the Live Digests though.

Although I can't promise it'll only take 2 days.
This is so perfect, LOL. Today, we are all Buzz Aldrin!
First comment! I'm gonna miss the routine of the old site but I know I'll adjust!

You're in the right place!
