Publishing on Web 3.0 - How does Hive Stack up?

Mirror is the next big change in the long history of symbolic communication. Through a decentralized, user-owned, crypto-based network, Mirror’s publishing platform revolutionizes the way we express, share and monetize our thoughts.

As part of my #rediscovercrypto journey I am looking at what is up and running in Crypto, what has materialised over the last few years. I am really excited to try out all the Dapps that are popular.

This DAO project is interesting and would appeal to many on #hive. It's a decentralised writing platform and DAO on Ethereum for publishing content and raising funding.

Editions can be used to:
Mint digital collectibles
Create community memberships

Downsides

For a decentralised platform its actually difficult to find out about it. They have a website with very little info. You cant browse the content easily at the moment.
