Today I’m launching my use of a new feature Substack is offering connected to my newsletter, This Week-ish with ElisaCP.
It is a conversation space only available in the Substack app where I can chat with all of you lovely subscribers — kind of like a group chat (some of which have been my absolute lifeline since the pandemic started). I’ll post short prompts, thoughts, and updates that come my way, and you can jump into the discussion.
I already started today with an open thread about the Midterm elections.
To join our chat, you’ll need to download the Substack app (messages are sent via the app, not email). Turn on push notifications so you don’t miss a chance to join the conversation as it happens. Instructions helpfully provided below:
How to get started
Download the app by clicking this link or the button below. Chat is only on iOS for now, but chat is coming to the Android app soon.
Open the app and tap the Chat icon. It looks like two bubbles in the bottom bar, and you’ll see a row for my chat inside.
That’s it! Jump into my thread to say hi, and if you have any issues, check out Substack’s FAQ.
I’ve already started my first chat thread so come on over and say hello!
