I'm not a Medium user, particularly, but I do get the problem, here. There are many sites that I read on the web from my computer and on my phone. If the content is web-friendly then let me seamlessly use my browser -- you know, that app I already have installed that shows me web content? -- to view it. The sites that have their own apps seem to want to "capture" me but don't offer any significant benefits to me for taking up extra memory above and beyond the browser.

And now people are going to enter other people's names and e-mail addresses into some random website?

And now people are going to enter other people's names and e-mail addresses into some random website? How's that a good idea? Is someone, next, going to make a site that tells you whether someone suspected you might have been in the #AshMad  database?

An interesting take on web evolution.

An interesting take on web evolution. I remember an early complaint about Google+ was that you couldn't link multiple photos and/or websites in the text to create more of a blog-type article rather than just commentary on a single photo or article (like I just did).
