If you're a fan of reading, Medium is one of the best resources on the
web. Medium was built by the co-founder of both Blogger and Twitter,
Evan Williams. The idea behind the site is to offer people a place to
write their stories without limits on content or length. There has been a
wealth of great content on the site already, and now the team is
getting ready to release a dedicated app for iOS.
The app will not offer options for writers wanting to contribute to
Medium, but it is planned to be designed for consuming content from the
site. Medium's design is one of the most important aspects of the
product, because the aim is to allow readers to focus on the content
itself. Of course, the mobile version of the Medium website is very well
put-together, so we would expect similar presentation, but there would
obviously need to be extra features to make a stand-alone app
worthwhile.
We don't know what those features may be, but we would hope for
options to search for topics and stories, follow collections, and maybe
even ways to save posts for offline reading. Whatever will be offered,
we should find out soon enough, because the app is planned for release
within the next week. In the meantime, we'd suggest hitting up Medium
for a great new post from Android developer Roman Nurik about how he was inspired to create the Muzei Live Wallpaper that we've all come to love.
