@marcoarment Also @roon_app has been looking really nice http://roon.io/ to me
Writers: You don’t need Medium. You can host your own blog on your own domain with lots of other tools and hosts. Be your own “platform”.

@marcoarment you think the same about tumblr? -
@marcoarment Totally agreed. Medium is Facebook Notes-style lock in. -
@marcoarment writing a post on medium is by far the easiest way to create. most blogging platforms are terrible for creation. -
@marcoarment The thing I love most about it is the writing experience but then again a good markdown editor could easily replace that. -
@marcoarment Medium is still going? I looked when it was new, but it was all exclusive. I’ve never read an article there. -
@marcoarment Or use@medium with your own domain, at the very least. -
@marcoarment also roon by@soffes and@drewwilson is visually similar if not better and less restrictive than medium -
@marcoarment I never quite got Medium. Seems like it takes away one of the best parts of internet publishing (the independence). -
@hybrid_alex Sorry, but that’s simply wrong. If you have trouble writing everywhere else, the tools probably aren’t the problem. -
@marcoarment Why not both? I host my own blog on a named domain, then use Medium & Forbes to enhance reach of special posts. -
@marcoarment I can see, maybe, how it's good for writers who aren't great with computers, but Tumblr did that too. -
@marcoarment only advantage is built in audience you don't have with your own blog -
@marcoarment I write different content to medium than I would on my own blog. Kinda like longhand twitter -
@marcoarment more than just words. adding photos and comments inline is a huge bonus and not easy to replicate on blogging platforms. -
@r0unak@marcoarment Unlike Medium, Tumblr allows you to use custom domains. -
@SnorkelPop@r0unak Tumblr’s share-draft permalinks also worked for everyone, didn’t require a login, and didn’t try to promote Tumblr. -
@marcoarment - great advice, that's what I did. It made a BIG difference in getting noticed and commissioned.
