Rationale
PaperSpan is primarily a 'read it later' app, which aligns with some features of an online publishing platform, particularly for content consumption. It offers a clean reading experience (rich-text-editor), allows highlighting and notes (community-feedback-tools, though not directly community-facing, it's a form of engagement with content), provides reading statistics (reader-engagement-metrics), categorizes articles (tags-and-topics), offers text-to-speech (audio-story-playback), is a mobile app (mobile-app-access), and includes search and sort functionalities (search-and-discovery). However, it lacks core publishing features like content creation, distribution/recommendation engine for new content, and monetization models for writers, which are central to the 'Medium' concept.

[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.
