Rationale
Lulu is a self-publishing platform primarily focused on print-on-demand books and ebooks. While it allows authors to create and sell their content, it lacks the rich text editor, algorithmic distribution engine, and detailed reader engagement metrics that are central to the 'Medium' concept. It does offer monetization through sales (not a membership model like Medium), user profiles, and a bookstore for discovery.

[Product] vs Competitor B - which one should I choose?

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.
