Was medium ever a good product? I think as a reader-- certainly not. Megabytes of Javascript, long rendering times, just to display a kilobyte of text?

- kevincox 4y agoI feel like it was back in the day. They had a focus on simplicity, great typography and overall reader experience. Once could say that they were focused on being a good medium.
- Waterluvian 4y agoYeah it was pretty good. For a while there the top search results of Medium articles were generally worth reading for a topic. Good UX.
- solarkraft 4y agoIt was! It was light weight (visually anyway) and had a ton of great content on the front page. The writing experience was great and the reading experience had the killer feature of being able to highlight stuff (something I now do all the time via hypothes.is). Oh right, and claps! My favorite way to measure appreciation (just enough effort so mean something)!
