Hey! Remember that Substack Summary Generator I launched last week? (If you missed it, you can check it out here: Substack Summary Generator) Well, seeing people actually use it got me thinking - what if we could create something even bigger? Something that could genuinely help Substack creators crush it in 2025?
Here's the thing - after diving deep into building various digital tools (like that Public Chat app and experimenting with AI), I've learned that the best tools come from understanding what people actually need, not just what we think they need D:
So here's what I'm planning to build - but I need your input to make it actually useful:
Newsletter Intelligence Hub
Track top performers in your category
Analyze growth patterns that actually work
Spot trends before they become obvious
Think of it as having a data scientist in your pocket!
Content Performance Analyzer
Break down why some posts go viral
Track engagement patterns
Identify what makes people hit that subscribe button
No more guessing what works - let's use actual data
AI-Powered Writing Assistant
Craft headlines that make people stop scrolling
Generate post structures that keep readers engaged
Suggest improvements based on successful posts
Remember when I talked about finding the AI sweet spot? This is exactly what I meant
Audience Growth Toolkit
Spot growth opportunities
Get actionable growth tactics
Track what's actually working
Because growing shouldn't feel like throwing spaghetti at the wall
Social Media Command Center
Auto-generate platform-specific posts
Identify optimal sharing times
Track cross-platform performance
Less time promoting, more time creating
But here's where it gets interesting - I'm also thinking about adding:
Smart Content Calendar
Never run out of ideas again
Plan content based on what works
Spot gaps in your content strategy
Because consistent quality > random bursts of inspiration
Newsletter Chat Bot
Help readers explore your archive
Answer common questions
Personalize content discovery
Making your content work harder for you
Monetization Optimizer
Find the right pricing sweet spot
Optimize your paid/free content mix
Increase conversion rates
Because your work deserves to be valued
Visual Content Assistant
Create consistent brand visuals
Generate cover images that pop
Maintain visual consistency
No design skills? No problem!
Community Engagement Tools
Understand your reader behavior
Spot engagement opportunities
Build stronger connections
Because newsletters are about people, not just numbers
Here's the thing though - building all of this would take forever, and honestly? I'd rather focus on the features that would actually make your life easier. Just like when I was building apps with AI, sometimes the best approach is to start small and iterate based on real feedback.
Want to be part of this journey? I've created a quick form where you can tell me which features you'd actually use (and suggest new ones I haven't thought of):
The best part? Early adopters will get special access and input into the development process. Because if we're going to build something, let's build something that actually helps, right?
Haven't tried the Summary Generator yet? Give it a spin here:
Let me know in the comments - which features would you use first? What's missing from the list? Let's build this together!
PS. How do you rate today's email? Leave a comment or "❤️" if you liked the article - I always value your comments and insights, and it also gives me a better position in the Substack network.
It’s so cool to see how your ideas are gaining traction. What i would love to see is some handy feature that would allow English users to read my polish posts. I want to keep writing in Polish but this makes my posts useless for 99% of Substack users. Would love to have something for that.
