Ask HN: Which substacks do you read as soon as it hits your inbox?

just curious for some good insightful reading on whatever you’re passionate about.

Do you mean newsletters in general or do you literally only mean substack?

The only newsletter I read when it comes out is Matt Levine's, I think. Or maybe I only remember this one because it comes out daily and others come out weekly or monthly.

(This also isn't because I have impeccable taste but because few of the people I'd like to follow even seem to have subscriptions so I get notified about their new posts via Twitter mostly.)

For me, Substack has a reputation problem. All Substack's I've seen shared (on HN) have spouted outlandish claims and had zero (or little) "evidence" to back their claims up. Of course it's just a platform and it is probably made up of some great content too, but the bad content has turned me off to the platform.

So I guess none here as well.

Not a substack, I think it’s hashnode or ghost or something custom made, but https://unzip.dev.

Quick and dirty summaries of interesting stuff I don’t really dive into. Guy’s clearly a talented dev and has a knack for drawing diagrams that make sense

I read Adam Tooze's Chart Book[1] and it's become the only source of information I really need to understand general macroeconomics and how it relates to the events of the world.
