Ratings and reviews

I like it a lot! It's fantastic how feedbacky the community is for articles, so newbies aren't mislead if an article teaches wrong things, but most are great! The only feedback I would have is that the comment section of a blog is article could be easier accessible, without having to click on and on to read all the response. I understand though if it was deliberately designed that way so it wouldn't be used as a forum like discussion base but it's still a bit irritating for me personally.

This app very beautifully renders the article on a mobile phone, covering the full screen in it's torality, which looks beautiful to read. But in a tablet (10inch), it leaves quite a width of white space on both sides of the screen (held in portrait mode), which squeezes the text narrower. It doesn't look that good that it would have been if it would cover the full screen like in the mobile phone. It would be brilliant to have this rendering on the tablet as illustrated above.

Medium provides a versatile platform for writers, offering a clean interface and a diverse range of content. The curation of articles caters to various interests, and the subscription model promotes quality content creation. However, the lack of customization options for writers and occasional issues with the recommendation algorithm may hinder the user experience. Overall, Medium is a valuable space for discovering thought-provoking articles but could benefit from more user-centric features.
