Rationale
Issuu is a digital publishing platform that allows users to convert PDFs and other documents into interactive flipbooks. While it doesn't focus on 'stories' or 'long-form articles' in the same way Medium does, it provides a robust platform for publishing content with rich media capabilities. It offers features like embedding, sharing, and statistics, aligning with several 'must-have' and 'other' features. The monetization is through selling flipbooks, which is a form of membership/monetization, and it provides analytics for content performance. It lacks a direct 'recommendation engine' for content discovery beyond tags and user-curated stacks, and community feedback tools are not explicitly mentioned in the same way as claps/highlights.
