Rationale
Pocket offers a service for saving web content for later reading, which aligns with the content consumption aspect of Medium. It features curated collections, a recommendation engine, and user profiles. While it doesn't focus on content creation by users in the same way Medium does, it provides a platform for consuming curated content and offers features like tagging, search, and mobile access. The website explicitly states that Pocket is shutting down, which impacts its current viability as a competitor.
