Yeah, but unfortunately we haven't found anything that allow easy collaboration with folks who don't know how to use GitHub, and migrating away from medium is a paiiin. Though if you have a solution, I would be happy to push for it on the Jupyter side.

Unsure if you mean solution for migrating or solution for a good alternative platform, but Ghost has received a decent amount of praise. https://ghost.org/vs/medium/

I've seen ghost, the problem is actually migrating the content, and while there are services they are too expensives for an OSS project, but thanks.

Maybe this jupyter book can be used as a blog?

I would just teach people how to use github. lol.

That is my POV, but I'm not the only one deciding, and not all people contributing to the blog are coders, we had request for execs/manager for guest blog posts to review before publishing so a lot of poeple were against github.

curious: how about Wordpress ?

I’m out of the loop. What’s wrong with Medium?

From the top of my head:

- captures creativity into a centralized proprietary platform on which creators have no control

- modal dialogs nagging you to create an account when you just want to read an article

- uniform, soulless, dull visual design

- heavy pages loaded with JavaScript that don't add any value for the reader

Make all the articles by default behind paywall, and even as an admin on the blog.jupyter.org I can' deactivate that, I need to ask the author that submitted it.
