Kit (formerly ConvertKit)

Kit (formerly ConvertKit) is an email-first operating system designed for content creators. It helps creators build and manage their email lists, send newsletters, automate email sequences, and monetize their content through digital products, paid newsletters, and subscriptions. The platform emphasizes audience engagement and growth for individual creators and businesses.

ConvertKit, now rebranded as Kit, is primarily an email marketing platform for creators. While it offers tools for content creators to manage subscribers, send newsletters, and monetize their content, it does not provide a rich text editor for long-form articles or a comprehensive distribution and recommendation engine for content discovery in the same vein as Medium. Its focus is on email-first communication and sales rather than a public content publishing and reading platform. It does, however, offer features like membership monetization (paid newsletters/subscriptions), user profiles, tagging, and social sharing, which align with some 'other' features of Medium.
