So much value here, Luca.

It's nice to see someone who uses the Readwise -> Notion integration. I've got hot on that this year and it's been the single biggest enabler of creating more than ever before.

Read later is a good ethos.

Congrats on your successes here. I'll be following closely as I aspire to get to where you are on here.

This was such a useful note Luca, thanks for writing this up. I'll definitely be using some of your tips on note taking and the idea of evergreen notes

> I track growth rate, churn, retention cohorts, and figure out how to improve over time.

How to you track these metrics? I don't see see this in Substack's native analytics dashboard

I routinely export the CSV of subscribers and import it into a giant Airtable I have created myself with all kinds of charts and formulas 😅

I always think about turning it into a product and sell it!

This is a great article! I'm an obsessive note-taker and I still learned a few things on the note-taking front to make my writing process easier :)

Keep up the great work!
