Medium is awesome because of

It allows us to write efficiently

It allows us to create new publications. (This is the power of it)

It allows us to customize publications and make the page a little bit our-like.

But, it is paid. (Until you use some illegal softwares like browser extensions to bypass)

So, I checked the internet whether there's some alternatives to medium and found this out. https://beebom.com/medium-alternatives/ But, any of this doesn't do the job clean as medium does.

So, Is it the time to create an open-source publications website? Or is there really one?

Happy to discuss>>>
