Because something something twitter developers something pretty? I honestly have no idea about Medium hype. It's like Wordpress, but invite only, with one shitty theme. How awesome.
I'm working on something like Medium meets Flattr. Invite only . I want quality writers. Users that register can attach a "wallet" of sorts that they could put money into. The money they have put into their wallet will be divided by the number of posts they read and shipped off to authors.
Example: I have $20 in my wallet/month because I love reading and I believe in supporting indie writers. I read 90 articles that month. 20/90 = 0.22 per writer. I feel like if the service gets enough users, people can make a real living off it.
- sbarre 13y agoI admire your desire to pay writers, but why would I ever pay money to read your content when other places (including Medium, sorry) provide me with tons of content to read for free? Unless you can line up very sought-after writers with name-recognition to bring in users at first, I think you may have a difficult time convincing enough people to buy into your model. That said, I love the idea.. It's basically a magazine.
- rfnslyr 13y agoHonestly, I'm someone who makes a decent amonut of money and I don't mind pitching in to help others especially if I enjoy their content time and time again. People with a little money to burn ;)
