Ben, did you actually mean to use Medium in this sentence? "...a free-forever, community-first genuine alternative to Medium."

I feel like that should be "...alternative to Meetup."

Cause isn't Dev.to already an alternative to Medium? πŸ€”

Whoops. I wrote Medium because I meant to reference it in a following sentence in terms of where we already took a similar approach with Medium. I got all mixed up. πŸ™ƒ

That's the kind of mixup that might indicate that something is a focus creep in the first place... However I genuinely think that a lot of focus creep issues plague closed source software a bit worse than open source.
