🐤 Nug #1 — Introducing: Substack Chat 💬

Substack just released “Chat” which is a community tool like Slack or Discord but within the Substack app!

Substack @SubstackInc

Today we are launching Chat, a new space for writers and creators to host conversations with their subscribers. Try Chat now: substack.link/chat

Here’s why I’m excited about it:

I don’t have to ask y’all to join another Slack or Discord community 😅 I feel like I’m in Slack overload right now and I’m guessing a lot of you are too.
Article comments don’t provide a great threaded chat experience, especially on mobile. To me this feels easier. Like texting!
Most importantly, chats don’t have to be tied to specific articles! I’d like to start dropping product-related news and thoughts in Chat that I probably won’t write an entire article on. What are your thoughts on this?

I’m probably going to run an experiment for a month or so where I drop cool new products, beautiful product designs or interesting product articles in Chat. If you guys are down to clown, hop in there and introduce yourselves!

Available for iOS and Android

🐤 Nug #2 — Meetings → Searchable Knowledge

Pretty slick live meeting transcription tool.

Andy Berman • vowel.com @berman66

🚨 Big launch from the team at Vowel 🚨 We’ve been heads down for 6 months building a whole new suite of tools to turn your meetings into instantly searchable, shareable knowledge. Today we’re live on Product Hunt, introducing our new mobile app, universal search, and more👇

🐤 Nug #3 — Time machines DO exist!

Rewind will record your computer history, allowing you to effectively “rewind time” and even search anything you’ve heard, said or read on your computer in the past.

My first thought? What a major invasion of privacy!

But upon further inspection, everything is stored locally. So… pretty sick!
