Updates from Substack 3

  1. identified

    We’ve identified an issue that is causing publishing and draft saving to be slower than usual. Some recently published posts may display without their title or body, and some writers may be unable to edit recently published posts. Notifications for new posts may also be delayed. We’re working with our infrastructure provider on a fix and will post another update within the hour.
