24 alternatives to Printstack – I'll print and post your Substacks to you
I've been turning individual Substacks into books -- actual paperbacks and hardbacks that you can put on your shelf -- for a little time now. (See the homepage.) So when a friend pointed me towards a tweet about doing it weekly across all a person's subscriptions, it seemed like a reasonable thing to test. I know where a few of the beartraps on the route from Substack to paper are. Do share feedback and thoughts.
Printstack converts Substack newsletters into printed books, allowing subscribers to receive physical paperback or hardcover copies of their favorite publications.

I built this product back in 2018 as a small side project: a tool that turns short videos into physical flipbooks. After launching it, I didn't touch it for years. Life and work took over, and it sat idle. But it kept getting a few orders every month, which made it impossible to forget. So in December 2024, I decided to rebrand and revive it. The initial version relied on various local printing offices. I kept switching from one to another, but the results were never quite right. Either the quality wasn't good enough, or the turnaround times were too long. Eventually, me and my wife bought…

Substage▲183Hey all! I’m a solo indie dev and I’ve been working on Substage – a Mac app that docks under your Finder window and lets you interact with your files using natural language. Stuff like: • Convert to webp • zip these up • Author of this PDF? • Download this file: • Is this really a PNG? • What's 5 foot 9 in cm? • Open in TextMate Substage converts your prompt into a Terminal command using an LLM (GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini, Mistral, or your own local model), runs it, and summarises the output. If it detects something risky, it’ll pause for confirmation before running. Commands run locally on your…

Analog Reader▲146A bit of context, Analog Reader is a tool I built that takes any RSS feed (Substack, Ghost, etc.) and formats it as a printable newspaper. I've launched analogreader.com here before, now I'm here just to share some updates. I've since created a Chrome Extension that allows you to send any article you are currently looking at to analogreader.com with one click. That way, it's much easier to transform digital into paper. It's a very simple chrome extension, I don't capture any data from you, it literally just appends the current post url to analogreader.com. Let me know if you have any issues…

I've been writing on Substack for the last year, and from the beginning I've been aware that I might want to migrate to a different platform at some point. I've been looking into the various alternatives to Substack for a while, and always found it difficult to compare costs across the different platforms. There's just too many variables that factor into the cost, and each platform has a slightly different pricing scheme. I've also been looking for the chance to try Streamlit, a Python library for making dashboards. Getting started with Streamlit was even easier than I imagined, so I ended…
