I think is too early for SN. Let it grow a bit more. Don't rush it too much.
I think we are still in the stage of creating a strong curated community and testing a lot of features.
OP @elvismercury is right about being able to edit long posts. I myself sometimes I made mistakes and/or forgot to insert a paragraph, or want to simply add something more. In general I agree with all he says in this post.
Now that you ask me directly what features I wish to see, (but please, don't put extra effort on this right now, SN is OK in this phase) I will mention some:
- Maybe adding an extra cost with sats for later edit. I don't mind to pay extra for my own mistakes. That will make long form posts, more curated.
- Add option to "read more" with a small paywall fee, for those content creators (eg. @jimmysong could easily post his paid newsletters like that on SN) that want to use a specific fee for their content. But for this must be a required section of TLDR or introduction for the article, so abusers/spammers cannot take advantage or readers.
- In order to have a more curated "feed" of posts/articles, writers must have their own sub like "stacker.news/s/darthcoin" for others to find it easily. Or convert user bio page into a "stackpage" listing all his main posts/articles and the bio could be a separated section. Something like substack have.
- Option to export all your articles into a zip file, for backup purposes. Or even maybe a full import from substack of other articles. The markdown formatting on SN is OK, easy to use for many writers, I don't think it needs something else.
Maybe other more professional writers could say more, I am just an amateur, I don't know why you asked me about this 😂😂. Yes I write a lot on SN, that true. Maybe I should slow it down a bit.
Never considered that #2 could be achieved by SN. Been hoping for that product to appear on Nostr but still too early.
Bringing that here would be awesome. Could make SN their primary channel or community, inspite of substack email still being king.
Bonus points if pricing options tied to block time or days, rather than just one-off post access. e.g. 5k sats for 3 months.

That's why I was saying that SN is not ready for this big jump, yet.
Articles could be already have an incentive from zaps, a more V4V approach than paid subscribers. Maybe you do not want to read all Darthcoin articles, but just one that the title or the TLDR catch your attention. And for that one, you will pay with a zap or a "read more" option.
Many features from substack I think can be implemented on SN, but takes time. We need to do small steps.
