Ok, so Notes don't get emailed to subscribers... it's something you have to go check regularly to see if there's new content there? It sounds kind of like Substack making its own internal Twitter, in a way? Can everyone post on Notes, or just the creator team? I hope the important/big stuff will still be in posts that get an email notification! And then, uh... maybe when I see a regular post in my inbox, it'll remind me to go check if there are also any Notes I've missed in the meantime...

So right now, basically, we have: Regular posts that we get notified about by email; we have Threads (which I feel like I've gotten a couple of emails when someone starts a new Thread, but I'm not 100% sure if remembering correctly on that); and now we have Notes, which (ironically?) won't be notified at all? It's a lot of avenues for information and interaction, and I guess time will show which are the more useful/of interest to the userbase at large!
