Perhaps we need to see some data on heart vs claps…Hey Medium Staff, the gauntlet has been thrown down, can you share some answers with us?

Did you implement clapping so users could press the button more than once? (clapping is a non-binary switch, I assume you cannot unclap?)

What are the analytic differences between the two?

How has your experiment worked out? Did it drive engagement?

Has it made writers more happy?

Has it made readers more engaged?

Has it changed behavior?

What about after the fanfare of the clap launch, will it go back to the how users engaged with the heart?

Product geeks want to know…
