I Complain About Medium a LOT, But Actually I Think Its Interface is Perfect Just the Way It Is

I’m so happy there’s no private message function. Imagine all the sleazeballs sliding into your dms. Ughh..

I’m probably not the only person here who got pissed the hell off that Medium took away the function of writing and submitting stories on your phone. I took serious offense, probably way more than what was necessary.

I feel it is a VERY classist move. So, only people with regular access to a computer may submit work? I have to go through the hassle of writing in Google Docs and then submitting later if I experience writer’s flow while being bored on the bus?

Also, the mobile application is kind of buggy for me. The notifications NEVER update. I feel like it statically updates once every four hours instead of updating in real time. Does the application do that for anyone else but me? All my other applications work fine, and I have a very nice phone!

Oh, and selecting comment replies is annoying but you never see the context. So oftentimes the responses to your comment might not make sense.

With that being said, however, I feel like Medium has done a lot of things right.
