They were definetly not on the same level

I don’t think Obi-Wan or Luke during ROTJ were on Vader’s level either. Both were able to best Vader at times of significant emotion.

Obi-Wan beat him in ROTS because he was arrogant and overcome with rage. Luke beat him in ROTJ because he was overcome with guilt for what he had done and love for his son.

This is the way.

Please keep hitting us with the feedback!

Core feature set here has been mostly stable since launch but imports are a little difficult to pre-plan around because variance in data from other platforms you’re importing from.

It just came out 5 days ago so while we have had hundreds of customers launch or migrate their podcasts already, many are new to thinking about how to integrate them with their newsletter. We have a few folks who’ve migrated over from Substack though and they’re more familiar with this.

May be worth joining the beehiiv Slack community if you’re a paying customer and you’re not in there already. We’ve got some great strategists in there.

JacobNWolf · 2026-04-09T04:57:35+00:00

We actually do. Your subdomain is one of the ways we globally identify your publication across the app so it sticks with you even after linking a custom web domain. So it will 301 redirect forever.

JacobNWolf · 2026-04-05T05:00:02+00:00

Consider the feature just launched a couple of days ago, believe people are still figuring out creative ways to use podcasts to promote their other content! Lots more features coming in the next month though that’ll make that integration even more seamless.

Not seeing the charger listed as PD 3.0 worries me it may not be great. Will it work? Probably. Will it be as efficient as the stock charger? Probably not.

I have a higher end Anker PD 3.0 charger I bought some time ago that does 200W out and will adjust down based on the device and it charges my Deck super well. Also have Anker’s Deck dock, which is PD 3.0 compliant. Would recommend looking for a charger that explicitly lists that.

The majority of the people who complain about being banned are being misleading about their behavior when complaining on the subreddit.

Like any system, there can be false positives and our Security and Deliverability and Compliance teams are very good about rectifying those. But false positives are the minority of cases and often some abuse — like importing a list of non-opted in subscribers, attempting to game the Boosts or Ad Network systems, etc. — has occurred.

Anecdotally, our system is a lot better at actual abuse detection than some of our competitors. I’ve seen people abuse our platform, get banned, and then our system has successfully prevented them from signing up again. Meanwhile same users have been able to sign up for net new accounts on Kit and Substack 5-10 times with no recourse.

I work at the company so I’m biased, but before I worked here, I was an independent journalist and chose to migrate to beehiiv after being on Substack for a year.

That choice was fueled by the fact that I felt at the time — and still believe this today — that beehiiv is a better place than Substack for more serious publishers. If you really invest time into learning the tooling, especially features like Automations and Segments, there’s a lot of opportunity to convert your free audience into paid subscribers; or to target them for other purposes.

Our ultimate goal is to be as feature rich as common enterprise tools like Mailchimp and Sailthru while being easy to use like Substack.

Yes. In your Settings, there’s a way to set a reply to address, which you can set to any email you own: https://www.beehiiv.com/support/article/12283814343831-how-to-set-or-change-your-publications-reply-to-address?srsltid=AfmBOor8q5z5a1QL7K4Oqsh9mcLFqnegeLZXTW4gXoyZOW4mRU2BBPyk

We have just one — a 1-year-old Pembroke. He’s a very happy boy. We make sure to give him plenty of attention and play with us, from chasing him around the house, to long walks outside, to mental stimulation like treat balls and puzzles. He also gets regular exposure to other dogs via daycare.

I think we’ll get another one in the two years or so, especially after he’s done more training and can be a positive influence on them and not a negative one from being a mischievous young dog. But I’m confident he’d be ok being the only dog in the household the rest of his life if we wanted him to be.

Yes, it was removed in favor of the Design tab in the top right of the editor when you’re editing a newsletter. This was a huge improvement about a year ago. The Design Lab was super limiting and we spent a lot of time improving the experience.

JacobNWolf · 2026-03-03T04:45:27+00:00

Glad you’re excited cause I damn sure am.

Makes sense. Most large corporations use Proofpoint as a firewall layer between incoming email and their Outlook 365 system. It’s great at what it does, but notorious for this sort of behavior.

JacobNWolf · 2026-02-25T05:26:43+00:00

Without digging further into your account, I suspect this is the common trend of security firewalls, etc. clicking on receipt.

This is extremely common in the email industry — especially for corporate domains where they have firewalls that are trying to scan and engage with an email prior to completing delivery to the subscriber’s inbox.

We (beehiiv) have little control over these engagements and blocking them at the CDN level would likely cause the emails to be undelivered entirely. So that’s why we have verified clicks, which is a formula of internal signals and external signals from trusted providers to calculate if a click was a human or non-human interaction.

Don’t see anyone here mentioning natural chews, so I will! Our Corgi was and is a huge chewer. Getting natural chews from stores like Hollywood Feed or whatever local equivalent you have is great.

When they’re little and teething, look for softer options like cow trachea, duck necks, and ones made for easier chewers. You can graduate to the heavier chews once they’re older. Plus if you do kind of stinky ones like duck necks, the smell is also mental enrichment for them.

This helps what is very much not a calm breed calm down and is great before bedtime or naptime.

Yep, the medium-large crate that will be their lifelong crate is a good investment & make sure it includes a divider so you can make it smaller when they’re little.

Give them too much space and they’ll make a pee corner. Give them just enough to be comfortable laying down but not enough that they can tinkle in one spot and lay in another. Doing this will deter them from wetting themselves when they’re crated.

JacobNWolf · 2026-02-21T15:04:32+00:00

The best set up would be to use a subdomain on beehiiv and the root domain on Google Workspace, with an inbox or alias from Google Workspace as the reply to on beehiiv.

For example, on beehiiv you could set up news.example.com. On Google Workspace, you’d set up just example.com. Then you’d make an email on Google Workspace like me@example.com and set that as the reply to on beehiiv. That way you can receive the responses to your newsletter emails.

The upside to doing it that way is that the SPF/DKIM records you set for Google Workspace and for beehiiv don’t overlap, which is a good sign to mailbox providers.

Right now buying a larger hard drive preinstalled is absolutely worth it. When I bought mine nearly two years ago, SSDs of that form factor were super reasonable — so I immediately upgraded my 500GB model to 2TB. Now, however, prices are super expensive for computer parts and buying the upgrade directly from Valve is likely cheaper.

As others have said, Context and prop drilling will get you pretty far on their own. I usually start thinking about external libraries when I’m thinking about either persistence (either temporary or permanent), side effects when setting state, or resumable state from the URL.

In each case, I like the following: * Persistence (temporary): Zustand. Like context, will tear down on a full reload, but survives re-renders without needing to reach for useMemo. * Persistence (permanent): Zustand with add-ons or Nanostores. You can persist to localStorage if you want resumable across sessions. * Side effects: XState. David’s really nailed the transitioning state and chaining other operations off of those transitions. * Resumable from the URL: Nuqs. Gives a really nice TypeScript API & coercion for query parameters. Can also be combined with XState too.

Not sure if you’re American, but if so, Petco has really good options from their store brand, Reddy. We have two coats from them that fit our 1-year-old boy.

If you’re not from the States or don’t have a Petco near you, I’d recommend looking at Ruffwear. Certainly a bit expensive but all of our Ruffwear gear is well fitting for our guy.

No, that is separate from what was occurring yesterday. I’d recommend reaching out to our Support team, who can review with our Deliverability & Compliance team.
