How it works

Three steps.

01

Connect your Substack

Stack Reach reads your bio and recent posts to build a profile of the topics you actually write about — no manual tagging.

02

It scans the whole Notes feed

Every refresh, it scores incoming notes — from people you follow and writers you haven't found yet — for relevance to your beat, ranked by reach and engagement.

03

You engage with intent

Each opportunity comes with a drafted reply angle in your voice. Respond, skip, or archive — and keep a log of what you acted on.

What's inside

What's in it.

The engagement meter

Peers & big accounts, one dial

Slide between peer writers (mutual growth) and high-visibility accounts (audience reach). Both surface from the same scored feed.

Topic emphasis

Spotlight a theme at will

EU AI policy today, infrastructure pricing tomorrow. On-topic notes float to the top instantly — layered over the meter.

Drafted reply angles

A first draft, in your voice

Each opportunity comes with a specific angle that references your own work where it fits — a starting point to rewrite or ignore, not something to paste.

Responded / skipped log

Never lose track

Mark what you acted on. Dismissed notes move to an archive you can revisit — so you never double-reply or forget a thread.

§

Suggests. Never posts.

Stack Reach surfaces opportunities and drafts angles — you decide what to say and when. Nothing is ever auto-posted on your behalf. Your voice stays yours.
