I read something lamenting that Substack is taking off for this–unhappy that it’s email instead of the web. Myself, I’m just happy Substack publishes RSS feeds for its newsletters, so it works for me. The more web-native version would be Patreon. Patreon’s a silo, for sure–so I’m curious what the self-hostable versions would look like (integrate with Stripe/Square kind of stuff?). I think Ghost is trying to do stuff in this space, but I’ve heard complaints that it’s really finicky to self-host.
