Rationale
Glasp is primarily a social web and PDF highlighter. While it allows users to highlight and take notes on web content and PDFs, and share these highlights, it does not function as a content publishing platform for writers to create and monetize long-form articles in the same vein as Medium. It lacks a dedicated rich text editor for original content creation, a distribution and recommendation engine for newly published articles, and a direct membership monetization model for writers based on reading time. Its 'AI Clone' feature is for personal knowledge retrieval and insights, not for content distribution.
