Unless you have a very large following already, you're at the whim of the Medium editors to "elevate" content to the wider readership of the site, via the preexisting topics, or if you're really lucky, to feature your article on the front page.

When they're embedded in a Google Doc, they're pretty good at getting the point across - then they can have a link to the app itself too.

Yeah, that's a good idea. My blog has a mailing list but I did a wonderful job of making it extremely hard to find.
