If you guys are interested in a similar tool like medium (without the network), I'll be launching http://www.postagon.com next week.
Wow, great article but terribly designed website. Really slow scrolling, confusing layout, not sure what I could interact with and what I couldn't. (Some elements used the "pointing hand" cursor yet indicating I could click, yet did nothing when I clicked.)

Not to mention the stupid top bar that moved around the page. Websites don't get to have chrome!

Medium is not a complex webapp. Facebook or gmail is a complex webapp.
Medium is so simple it would be a good candidate for beginner web tutorial examples: Build a Medium clone in Rails in 4hours. Medium isn't a big thing because it's special in any way, it's a big thing because it was made by "web celebrities".
I remember many of my engineering friends saying the same thing about Twitter in the early days.

I thought the top bar was nifty. It only showed when you scrolled back up. When you scroll back up you might be looking for a way to continue somewhere else, and that's when they show you the top bar with it's menu.
If Medium is the future of publishing, I'm going to need a robot to scroll for me. That was great, but now I'm tired.
Loved the article, not a fan of the 2.4MB video of hands typing on an Apple keyboard [1] I was forced to download. I'm just glad I wasn't on a mobile connection (tethered or otherwise) with a bandwidth cap. I searched for methods to disable MP4 video downloading on both Chrome and Firefox, but they don't appear to work (for Firefox, it was about setting media.autoplay.enabled to false). If anyone knows how I would be…
I still like http://throwww.com better. I'm only saying that cause I built Throwww, though.
