Love this idea. I also don’t always have time to keep up with the blog. Friday is a good day for it.

Love this digest. I try to read every day but I occasionally miss something interesting. This is great.

I actually love this idea. I kind of stopped reading traditional blogs because they just don’t fit my workflow anymore. Email newsletters help much more, and a weekly digests fits perfectly within that workflow. That way I can read the blog entries that interest me. Great idea!

Not something I am interested in, but also not concerned to get an extra email. I haven't paid close attention to when I receive the normal Substack notice--so, depending on when that is, may want to schedule so they aren't both delivered on same day. how lazy am I to not want to have to read the subject line! I'll add that one of the things I like about the new blog format is that having smaller posts, but more per day makes it easy to see content of interest I may have missed the last day or two.

I like the idea of the Friday recep. Even as a daily blog reader its nice to see if there was something I may have missed or a story I want to reread with new context. Hopefully its not too much work!

I’ve been a daily blog reader for longer than I can remember and subscribed to the UW+ to support you. Since the blog shift to multiple posts per day, I find that I miss things so I absolutely love a Friday recap.

I like this idea and think Friday makes perfect sense as the day to send it out. Thanks!

This is a great idea and a Friday (or even schedule it to send on Saturday) would be a perfect day for this. I feel like there’s so much to keep up with that this is helpful to me.

I certainly don’t mind getting recap—but in the interest of honest feedback I’d say it doesn’t add much for me. But that is largely because reading the blog is one of my favorite daily habits!

Paul, I’m a regular reader of the daily blog but the recap is definitely helpful if there is a story I’m interested in or missed throughout the week.

I'm a substack paid subscriber and really like this approach. I read almost all of the long forms but rarely visit the site unless and article points me there. So, thanks for the concept and I'm a fan of Friday updates. As kmh5091 said below, THIS WAS PERFECT. Thanks and keep up the work!

I like this, Paul. I check the site every morning, well, just about but sometimes I miss stuff, so this could be helpful. Personally I would send it on Saturday (I never read the blog on weekends). Thanks for the spirit of continual improvement, and have a super Independence Day weekend.

THIS WAS PERFECT. I've changed most of my daily online reading to substack, and this Friday roundup is the perfect catch-up to the blog!

Paul, this is well done, but I'm unlikely to change my daily ritual of checking out the blog.
