Show HN: Imprint – Rethinking Medium
We've been frustrated with Medium because of their paywall, content ownership issues, intrusive interface, and low post engagement. So we built Imprint to do things different. We want to take the control and ownership you get with Wordpress/Ghost, and provide distribution/discovery.
To us, a blog is...
1. Openly sharing your thoughts (freedom of expression)
2. Accessible, unobtrusive content (no paywalls)
3. Ownership/control of your work (our policies, custom domains, customization)
4. Building an audience that engages with articles (followers, newsletters, distribution)
5. Simple to run, so you focus on what matters — CONTENT
Our manifesto (business model, philosophy, guidelines): https://read.imprint.to/post/the-imprint-rundown
Happy to answer any questions and concerns. Thanks!
P.S: yes, our title was inspired by the Ghost launch years ago
