AngryPages vs. Medium
The honest answer
Medium is useful for distributing individual essays to an existing reading network. AngryPages is for turning a connected body of work into a designed archive and sellable publication.
Publishing model
AngryPages: Publisher-led books and archives with editorial packaging.
Medium: Self-published articles distributed inside Medium's network.
Discovery
AngryPages: Discovery is organized around the author, book, archive, and the work's own structure.
Medium: Discovery comes from followers, publications, topics, recommendations, and Medium's network.
Paid access
AngryPages: Public and paid material can coexist within the same publication.
Medium: Eligible writers can place stories in Medium's metered paywall under the Partner Program.
Identity and presentation
AngryPages: The publication can have its own visual identity, chronology, supporting evidence, and sales path.
Medium: Presentation is intentionally consistent across the network.
