Configuring substack needs technical documentation

My first introduction to substack was from people have been let go from a traditional publication that are cutting staff on the way to oblivion. Oblivion is that place where all my parents magazine racks final resting place.

There is a lot of care focused on the target audience to get the UI and UX right for market. UI stands for User Interface and UX stands for User Experience. When Apple designed the Mac there was incrediable focus on both concepts. For substack there is not comprehensive description of how and why certain things should be configured. Perhaps there is some secret guild of substack that knows all. Or perhaps now one is really interested in writting technical documenation.

Maybe, I should be looking for the Substack for Dummies book? Or maybe Cliff Notes for substack. But we are dealing with the “modern” web.
