Found a Reading Comfort on Medium

Reading articles on the internet, sometimes it makes us feel uncomfortable because there are so many distractions all over the article. For example: the placement of related article title that is crammed around the main article, and also too many ads displayed, especially the popup one.

Frequently, I will do this when I found that kind of article:

1. Close that article website tab directly
2. Find another similar article with less distraction
3. And if it still hard enough to find the article with less distraction, I accept the fate by still opening the more distraction article, and make a fast scanning by using the combination of "Ctrl + F" on my keyboard, and search only for the desired information through the article.

Since around the last two years, I have found a good website to read articles with calmly and less distraction. Or maybe I should say, it's a platform not a website.

That platform is : Medium

And also, Medium have an application which is available for Android and iOS.

Several things that I really like from Medium are:

• It feels like reading a book with its plain paper without any unnecessary distraction
• The article's font size. In my opinion, it's really proportional and can make me enjoy to read for a long time
• I almost never found any clickbait article. Almost all of the article that I got and read on Medium is really helpful and expand my insight
• With a large number of active users from all over the world, it's possible you can learn so many things from various people with their unique story and background
• The last one is Dark Mode feature on the smartphone application that can make you comfortable when reading before sleep or with the dim light.

On my Medium preference, I chose various topics for my daily digest through email notification. Such as leadership, management, self-improvement, self-motivation, and design.

With so many advantages provided by Medium, I really recommend you to give it a try as one of your knowledge digest in this digital era. And one last advantages: it's FREE !!
