Publications Leaderboard
As an active reader on Medium running light of some reading material, last week I started a search for some new Publications.
Why Publications?
Anyone on Medium can start a publication, and write and edit it alone or as part of a team. Usually publications are centered around a particular theme or topic, for a select niche audience or a more general readership.
Why not just find some more writers and read their posts? Most writers like to write about a variety of topics, some of which you might be interested in, and others not so much.
Publications provide a great alternative to find content in topics you are interested in. The Publication editors do a great job of finding content to publish, and authors often submit their content for Publications in their niche. Following a individual Publication may introduce you to many new authors with expertise/experience in topics you are interested in.
My search began by looking for a list or directory of Publications that could be searched to find some new reading material. Unfortunately I didn’t find any source that listed Medium publications.
The only resources that I did find was a few blog posts that listed some of the authors favorite Publications, and I thought I’d do the same.
I reached out on Twitter and some Slack groups that I’m a member of asking people what Publications they read.
My list started to grow, to many for a quick blog post, so the idea of building that list or directory that I was originally looking for became a reality.
The Leaderboard
Still very much a work-in-progress (please submit your favorite Publications) the list is now ready to share: https://toppub.xyz
Publications are ordered based on the number of followers, and I plan on adding categories and some sorting/filtering options.
Would love to get your feedback.
