This sub-knowledgebase for the "Substack for Data" vision was created in Dec 2025. It is gradually being integrated into main datahub docs.

"Substack for Data": a hosted, opinionated publishing platform for indie data publishers. It focuses on making data posts (datasets, data stories, or data links) easy to publish, distribute, and monetize, with built-in social feedback and subscriptions.
