Ev provided edits to my article O_o I published an article to Medium earlier today, which I submitted to the 'on startups' collection curated by Ev. I'm not sure if it was actually Ev or another Medium employee, but I'm impressed at minimum to the level of commitment these guys are providing to the Collections element.

afaik Ev is the only person who accesses his account, so it was almost certainly him.

I can't read anything on medium on my Nexus 5 with the latest version of Chrome. When I stop scrolling the page, it hiccups and jumps 2-3 lines so I lose my place. Looks like I'll have to wait for 2.0 to see if I am interested in the content.

We're looking into this. Trying to find our android test device :-/

Wow thanks for the reply. I noticed it mainly (possibly exclusively) occurs when the navbar comes into view, or goes out of view (so scroll up, release,then scroll down). It gets annoying because the nav bar reappears if you switch tabs, or leave chrome and come back later.

what browsers are people who can't navigate the page with page up/down / arrow keys / space? I'm running firefox and can do so without issue.

We have a fix for Chrome coming soon, something we overlooked in a last minute change.

The fix was deployed. Happy keyboard scrolling.

We're actually having a hard time reproducing (though we've received some interesting screen shots). Our nexus 4 and Nexus 7 look ok. Rest assured we'll be acquiring more devices and will try and fix.

Interesting that the JS is concatenated and mangled but not minified (and the source maps are basically self-referential).

Minified, but pretty printed for easier debugging without source maps. The whitespace gzips pretty well.

What I don't like about medium is the constantly changing URLs. A story gets popular and is re-posted on another collection. BAM, the url just changed. You add your post to a collection, URL changed. You remove it, it does that again.

Cool urls don't change.

Does anyone, or can anyone fill in some information on mediums stack? How they've managed to scale so well, etc? They've done an amazing, and I'd love to pattern after them.

scale so well? What makes you believe they have scale? I mean this in a non-snarky way, I’d love to know how “well” they are doing.

Given their popularity and traffic for a small company, I have never seen a performance hiccup. In my mind, that's scaling well.

If I've already requested access, will that form help me get in sooner?

Thanks, but I just got the invitation anyways. Excited to try it out!

Should be fixed on monday. Was a super weird rendering bug.
