It went downhill since its launch. Some things that I enjoyed when it came out. 1. it had any easy way to bring on board a collaborator to help out with a draft article (without them needing to create an account, for example). 2. it had a clean and minimalist UI, and better editor experience than tinyMCE and other popular editors at the time 3. while the curation process wasn't open (as far as I recall), I was expecting it to lead towards a centralized blogging platform (a la reddit) but where personal submissions are front and center.
