Substack growth calibrator
Simply enter your Substack handle. The calibrator will take your current subscriber count from your public profile and show how likes-per-note, likes-per-post, and weekly subscriber gains are distributed across writers of similar size.
Most importantly, keep these ranges in mind before you sit down to look at your own metrics. Knowing what's typical at your size protects you from the raw comparisons your brain makes when you see other writers' metrics.
In a world that's reduced almost everything we do to a number, our motivation, creativity and joy are silently under attack. These are precious human artefacts, and it's my mission to build the tools that protect them.
Writers are where I'm starting, because it's where I live, but these tools will grow to protect anyone who ventures online, anyone whose dopamine system is vulnerable. If that's a project you want to follow, subscribe below.
