> Jumped ship to Sublime when it was released because it was evolving much quicker. Was glad to have backwards compat on a lot of things like themes. Still have my modified “Made or Code” theme kicking today. Tried TM2 a ton during the betas but never managed to reach the same level of productivity as Sublime. My muscle memory is too strong now and I can’t find any reason to leave.
That's an interesting comparison. I completely agree that VSCode is the rage right now. Sublime was big 2014-2016. I'm surprised atom isn't as popular (I suspect its because of the awful loading time)
Within the e-commerce niche, conversions matter the most - how you convert a window shopper into an actual buyer. This means removing all sorts of friction points. Turns out PWA is really good at page load and it works just fine.
Medium peaked a couple years ago, with many startups leveraging the audience and using it as a blog. I suppose their pivot into aggressive growth + monetization has lost them some really important publications. Arguably, hackernoon and freecodecamp were some of the most popular publications.
By removing the 'free' aspect of the content, medium effectively put itself in the same bucket as other platforms.
I also don't like medium's UX, especially the highlighting feature. It is really distracting.
It'd be cool to have a central store where users can publish content without worrying about uptime, paywalls or anything as such.
It just seems hard to believe that cold outreach won't work for SaaS
