I really hate Medium articles on <3G speed. Somewhere in their JS, they have a timeout (instead of relying on the protocol) so you only get to read the first paragraph. I’m sure their internal stats look great, I doubt they have a stat for “never loaded beyond the first paragraph” though.
I stopped at the "free" paywall.
Fuck Medium for making me login to read the story and then, after I logged in, asking me to 'upgrade', in order to read the story.
You can delete the site's cookies and refresh.
Seconded. I just don't read medium articles anymore, same goes for any site that makes me login. That ain't the internet I want so I don't support it
You can open article links in an incognito window. This way, Medium has no way of knowing who you are or how many articles you've read.
No offense, but this is the most generic list possible. I feel like I could have written this generic article having no SaaS experience at all. "Do your research", "Limit the MVP to a narrow number of functionalities", "Think about how you will market, promote and sell the product" -- come on.

I would be very interested in an article that conveys some new insight from your specific experience, though!

Hey, thanks for the feedback. I am not that good of a writer, the bullet point title is probably more generic than I wanted. There were more specific things, such as, that I lost probably more time on finding out which payment/subscription solution suits me and my country the most, how to write privacy policy and terms and conditions the proper way, how to decide whose idea or workflow is the best, why I regret using specific bootstrap theme and so on... But, it seemed to me like I couldn't find a proper way to categorize those topics and it would be all over the place. I am still learning how to properly organize my articles, so I really appreciate the feedback.
