Amazing, thanks for sharing!! Did you mean to make this a series? Or was it meant to be a standalone post? It looks like a series with just one post in it so far? (I'm trying to make sure this isn't confusing in the composer)
If you mean how do you get your existing Substack posts to Mea, we're working on an importer. Right now you can just copy paste!
If you mean "what does publishing on Mea" look like, the answer is compose a post, schedule or publish it, readers will see it in their feeds and can collect the posts they like and add them to their library. They can take private notes and highlights on each article or join the public discussion underneath the post with other collectors. They'll get an email telling them who collected their posts, what the people they follow have published and collected, and replies to the various discussions they've had.
Right now there is no money in the app. It's all Monopoly money so you can see how it works. If it ever moved forward and became a platform or product then we would connect it to Stripe, probably take 10%, and make it some kind of platform cooperative where writers/readers own the platform. But that's all up for debate. This is just a prototype!
Just experimented with copying a piece into Mea: https://mea.media/otherwise/ancient-mutants-of-joy-dutch-crocus
Beautiful formatting! Stylized but not overly so, a bit neutral, a bit whimsical. I’m curious to see where this goes.
Yes, just the first piece of a series. The difference seemed clear in the composer.
Oh ok awesome. So there are other posts coming? This looks so good! Thank you so much for uploading a post!

Walk me through what publishing a year's worth of 800 word substacks might look like on your platform...

What organization collects and distributes the money? What do the charge for that service?

Instant feedback:
1. On a dark theme home screen, the Mea icon is barely visible. Need more colour?
2. I failed signing on using my DFOS account.
Noted! Adding to our list of fixes.
