The Substack extension offers an efficient solution for writers or bloggers who want to deliver their content directly to their application. This extension simplifies the newsletter distribution process by automating the generation and updating of Substack content on your app. This enables you to offer an optimal experience to your audience.  One of the key benefits of this extension is the automatic adaptation of the design of your Substack content to that of your application. This ensures not only perfect display, but also visual consistency that reinforces your application's identity. As a result, readers benefit from a harmonious experience, whether they consult your newsletter on Substack or directly via your application. This enables you to extend your reach and offer a consistent user experience to your audience.
