Ello vs Medium
- askafriend 11y agoThe Ello site looks like shit to be completely honest with you.
- teaneedz 11y agoIt does go against the design grain and established UX principles at times, but that's okay for me in the big picture. A lot of design is subjective anyways and I rather enjoy the font and layout. They're marching to a different drummer but still care about the users. There's quite a bit wrong with the Medium UI. There are pros to each, but I personally support the policies of Ello more. The vibe is positive and homey.
- pavornyoh 11y ago>Personally, I prefer the business policies and user respect that the Ello platform offers. A no-ad policy (forever) is a huge reason to support Ello for me. Although Medium has the tech crowd, Ello has a community and team with lots of heart. When Ello releases an API, I'm sure that the community will increase. Are you working for Ello? How do you know the Ello team has lots of hearts etc.? If you do, then I will say then there is some sort of bias to the post/comparison. Naturally, you'd favor Ello more than Medium if the answers to my above questions are Yes & yes.
- teaneedz 11y agoNo, I don't work for Ello - just a user. I've watched from the sidelines and observed how those who do work there respond. From their words and actions, it's clear to me that they are pro-privacy and anti-ad tech. I've seen how they've handle product issues with transparency and quick action. I guess it sounds like I work there, but I don't nor do I personally know anyone who actually does.
