Note from the editor

This pub is dedicated to highlighting the stories that are better than the rest, even if the curators disagree. Being a boost nominator is a difficult and time-consuming job. If we work on a story and it’s not boosted, it won’t be read as widely as a boosted story would be. We want to highlight those stories, because they are without a doubt better than most other stories on Medium.
