Rationale

Publii is a desktop-based static CMS that allows users to create and manage websites, including blogs and portfolios. It offers a rich text editor for content creation, supports user profiles (authors), uses tags for categorization, and includes social sharing features. While it facilitates content publishing, it lacks the direct monetization model (membership/subscription) and a built-in algorithmic recommendation engine that are central to the 'Medium' concept. It's more of a website builder for static sites rather than a platform for content distribution and monetization for writers in the same vein as Medium.
