Rationale
NewsBlur is primarily an RSS reader that allows users to subscribe to feeds, read content, and train the system to show more of what they like. It has features for social sharing and community interaction, and offers mobile apps. While it has a 'training' system that acts as a recommendation engine, and allows for sharing and commenting, it lacks a rich text editor for original content creation and a direct monetization model for writers, which are core to the 'Medium' concept. It focuses on consuming and curating existing content rather than publishing new content.

After struggling with [Product]'s limitations, we decided to build our own solution.
It handles edge cases much better and the API is actually documented properly.

[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.
