Rationale
CMS Made Simple is an open-source Content Management System. While it is not a publishing platform like Medium, it offers core functionalities that align with some of Medium's features. It provides a rich text editor (MicroTiny WYSIWYG Editor module), allows for user profiles and following (though more for backend users and developers, and potentially through add-on modules), uses tags and topics for content organization, and includes search and discovery capabilities. However, it lacks the specific monetization model (membership & monetization) and the sophisticated algorithmic distribution and recommendation engine that are central to Medium's value proposition.

[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.
