Substack

Substack is a platform that allows independent writers and creators to publish and monetize their content through subscriptions. It provides tools for writing, distribution, and community engagement. Creators maintain ownership of their content and subscriber lists, fostering a direct relationship with their audience.

Substack aligns very closely with the description of Medium. It provides a platform for writers and creators to publish content (including newsletters, blog posts, and podcasts) and monetize their work through subscriptions. It offers a rich text editor, distribution through email newsletters and the Substack platform itself, and tools for community engagement. The platform also supports user profiles and following, as well as categorization of content through tags and topics.
