Why I moved my blog to Medium

I have decided to switch to using Medium away from Ghost for a few simple reasons.

  1. Ease of Publishing

Writing and sharing my work is ridiculously easy using the tools on Medium. Plus, it’s free and managed by Medium reducing the amount of time needed to maintain a self hosted solution.

Excellent write up on how to publish on Medium : https://help.medium.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002870328-Publisher-s-Guide-to-Medium

2. Writer Network

Medium provides a massive network of other writers to learn from and to share content with. This means it becomes easier to share what I write to others.

3. Cost

Medium is free. Ghost requires recurring costs for hosting.

tldr; Medium gives me more time to focus on actually writing
