Scholastica

Scholastica offers a platform for academic journal publishing, which includes features for managing peer review, article production, and open access journal hosting. While it focuses on academic journals rather than general long-form content for independent writers, it shares several core functionalities. It provides tools for creating and hosting articles (rich-text-editor, though not explicitly called out, is implied by article production and hosting), offers readership analytics (reader-engagement-metrics), supports journal management (publication-management), and optimizes articles for search and discovery (search-and-discovery). Social sharing is also mentioned through integrations. However, it lacks direct monetization for individual writers based on reading time and a personalized recommendation engine for readers, which are key aspects of the 'Medium' concept.
