Happy April 22nd, Hunters! Over the last four years, Smedian has become the defacto platform that connects writers to publications on Medium for the benefit of both sides. Since launching exactly four years ago, Smedian has helped thousands of writers join hundreds of publications. During the same time, Smedian has helped publication editors grow their publications from start to the top of our Top Medium Publications rankings. I'm proud to say that Smedian ranks number one on google for "contribute to publications" and "top publications" because those are the two purposes Smedian serves. We at Penname have continued to work hard on this platform and are proud to launch the fourth version of Smedian. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The new features aren't many, but they are substantial: ✨✨By popular demand: Search publications by their topics ✨✨ 🏆Browse over 11,000 of the top ranked publications on Medium at Toppubs.Smedian.com (the premier leaderboard) 📈Browse the fastest growing of those 11k ranked publications 💬Say hi and ask questions about Smedian in the Penname forum. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🧐How to use Smedian: As a publication, simply login and connect your Medium account.
