Off-topic: I see 'medium.com' and I don't tap because I can't face the pop-ups and nag modal. Sad to think, at one time Medium used to be the cleanest reading experience.
I've been avoiding Medium even before they became so blatantly commercial. Forcefully urging me to create an account and log in just to read a bloody article? No thanks.
I still prefer individual websites to blogging platforms, but Dev.to is the best such thing I've come across.
