Why My New Blog Isn’t on Medium – Dan Abramov
- acemarke 8y agoAnd he even forgot to mention the lack of syntax highlighting: https://twitter.com/dan_abramov/status/1096939156935188481 https://twitter.com/dan_abramov/status/1096939156935188481
- corobo 8y agoThe note about paywalls is my second biggest Medium peeve. Here's my first: they know how many articles I've read and have no problem tracking that.. but can't remember I'm logged in? We already 'made it official', Medium. Please.. remember me, not just my metadata. https://i.imgsir.com/pbwg.png https://i.imgsir.com/pbwg.png
- snarkyturtle 8y agoI feel like this move is like Radiohead releasing In Rainbows as "pay what you want". Abramov already has a devoted fanbase that'll probably read anything he writes, but not everyone has that kind of clout. For writers with less followers Medium would still help them get more traction and attention.
- mooreds 8y agoI find it ironic that he announced this on medium. Anyway, anything that supports the decentralization of the web is fine by me. (And yes, blogs still benefit from a centralized resource, the search engine, but that is far less intrusive than a platform like medium.)
