I was waiting for my invites from SVBTLE and Medium. I found a nice alternative

Optica Tumblr Theme: http://www.tumblr.com/theme/37310

Example 1: http://blog.k-create.com/ (the creator of the theme i believe)

Example 2: http://teslachat.tumblr.com/ (i work here)

Example 3: http://nerdydata.tumblr.com/post/57308630996/how-we-found-all-of-optimizleys-clients (just saw this on HN)

I think that's worse. Last thing you want is someone judging you for the fact that your blog's theme is an obvious svbtle clone.

If you think those are alternatives then you have missed the point of Svbtle and Medium; those services have nothing to do with the way the blogs look.

Medium is about networks of related information and discovery. Svbtle is(was?) curated bloggers and never open to just everyone. Yes, they happen to look nice as well.
