Medium Writers: Pick One of These Profile Pin Strategies
Otherwise, readers can’t find your latest posts on their mobile app
When I read online, I want to quickly find my favorite authors’ posts. But, that’s not happening on the Medium mobile app anymore.
I see that authors have new posts, but it takes too long to find them.
As a result, I get frustrated with the process and leave an author’s profile page, not knowing if I read their latest post or not.
This is how I feel when I use the Medium mobile app.
Curious
I see the little number hover above Sally’s profile picture on my mobile Medium app.
Cool. Sally has a new post.
I click on Sally’s picture to see her latest post.
Irritated
The first post appears. It’s from three months ago. I read it already. I scroll down and see another article that I read a month ago.
Nope. Already read that.
I scroll through three more articles that I previously skipped or read. Read it. Skipped it. Read it. Sigh. This is taking forever.
