Nooooo!! Talk about taking one step forward, two steps back. Who will ever need to type on a tiny screen? Use voice, it's multiple times faster and probably nearly as accurate. And if you've got something embarrassing and need to type — the 1 out of 100 times that happens — use your phone.
The easiest thing to do with a new medium is to apply what works in the old. Unfortunately that's rarely the path to greatness.
Note: This was our last post while on Medium.
I can't add a new story on Medium with Internet Explorer or any mobile browser. That's a problem, especially as I currently travel with a Surface 2, iPhone 5S and a Moto G.
Not being able to submit a story while travelling is exceedingly difficult when the objective is to post once a day. So, that's almost a deal breaker.
But the actual catalyst for leaving is Medium's philosophy for organizing content. Specifically, how Medium recommends what story to read next.
Note: At the time of writing, the cornerplay was still on Medium.
My goal is to post once per day and that discipline was shattered this weekend as I only had access to a Surface 2, iPhone 5S and Moto G. None of which can be used to post anything on Medium.
There may not be much more that needs to be said than the chart below.
I have been thinking about starting a tech blog for a long time now. I neglected to do so in the past because I did not want to go through the pain of building an audience; now I realize I'm happy just writing for myself.
So when I saw an ad for Wix on Facebook — they advertise quite aggressively there — I decided to check out the service.
