Oh hey! I just published my first note on [Substack Notes](https://substack.com/notes?ref=chrismessina.me) — and will be experimenting with publishing more frequently now that Twitter is #DeadTwitter to me. Would love for you to join me there!

Here’s a preview of my thoughts on ’s recent [piece](https://www.platformer.news/p/how-two-insurgents-are-taking-on?ref=chrismessina.me) discussing Artifact and Substack Notes as potential successors to the Birdsite’s throne.

[Notes](http://substack.com/notes?ref=chrismessina.me) is a new space on Substack to share links, short posts, quotes, photos, and more.

I’ll use it for quick hits and stuff that doesn’t fit in my newsletter, now that I’m wanting to get this thing off the ground again.

LMKWYT!
