About Medium Focus Mode

Writers are aware of the sources of distraction that can break focus time on the Medium Website. This extension fixes this by removing the Notification Bell, Story Feed, Story Stats, Partner Program stats, and anything else not related to editing story drafts. When you are done writing, you can turn off Focus Mode to regain access to your story feed and stats. Get back your focus time by removing the impulse to check your Medium notifications or stats!
