Rationale
Shorthand is a strong match for an online publishing platform. It offers a visual storytelling editor (rich-text-editor), collaboration tools (community-feedback-tools), and analytics (reader-engagement-metrics). While it doesn't explicitly mention a recommendation engine or direct monetization for writers like Medium, it focuses on creating and publishing high-quality digital stories for various purposes, including long-form features and digital magazines (publication-management). It also supports user profiles and sharing features.

[Product] vs Competitor B - which one should I choose?
Reddit·confused_buyer·Oct 14·+67
Honestly, after trying both, Competitor B wins hands down. Better customer support, cleaner interface, and they don't nickel and dime you for every feature.
Why we migrated away from [Product]
Hacker News·cto_mike·Oct 11·+234
The breaking point was when they changed their API without notice. We lost 3 days of productivity. Solution C has been rock solid for us since we switched.
