I wanted to write a technical article and medium seemed like a good place to publish it. The analytics were simple and didn't require additional set up and I was hoping to reach a different audience from publishing on medium. Overall I was satisfied, but might switch to a static site generator like you said for a couple reasons. The code style is clunky and doesn't highlight syntax and I believe HN penalizes medium articles in its algorithms. A couple other people have submitted my article and I've watched the posts climb in (~10) votes and almost make it to the front page and then magically disappear. I've tried resubmitted a number of times to no avail. From what I've read it's because medium articles are devalued here. I put a lot of work into that article and while it did get a decent amount of views (~15k) and was on High Scalability, I am pretty discouraged that I couldn't share it with the HN community.
