For those that write on Medium, would love to hear your thoughts.

I think having Ev's name in the link is a bit much.

Your subtitle:

How to make Medium the world’s greatest “collaborative idea-generation and distribution” platform

is more accurate to the piece.

You have some decent criticism of the platform and provide some great ideas.

Thanks for the feedback, Steve. I agree, that was a bit trashy of me. I am somewhat new to posting on HN and I am trying to figure out what draws attention and discussion.

Great point sfrechtling! Sadly I was at an interdisciplinary conference just a few weeks ago and this person openly said "Well I have this method I am looking where I can apply it" after one a domain expert told them that what they were doing wasn't very useful. iSad

I must've missed something because the site says "launched" but I can't find the app on the site or in Google Play. Or is it only available for certain devices? I have an HTC One Google Play edition.

The site's banner still says "Coming soon to Google Play"

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, teovall. I love the analogy! I think in the age of awards and accolades many have forgotten the value of an honest day's work.

I wonder if Raspberry PI would be a good one to get kids thinking below the hood. I am currious to hear how did Drew Houston start programming at 5 years old? I have a 2.5 years old so he's almost there!
