58 accounts in the library write about Lessons often enough for it to be a real share of their work. These are the 15 whose Lessons posts travelled furthest — ranked by what those posts did, not by how many people follow them, which is the difference between a list you can check and a list of famous names.

How the ranking works

A creator is on this list only when Lessons is at least a fifth of what they publish in the library, and the order is the reach of their Lessons posts specifically — an account that is enormous on another subject and posts about Lessons twice does not lead a list about Lessons. Every number above is a post you can open, and every name opens to their page: what else they write about, how they open, and every post of theirs the library holds.

How to use a list like this

A list of people is the beginning of a board, not the end of one.

  1. Open a name that interests you and press Save their best — their five strongest posts go into a board of yours in one step.
  2. Do that for two or three of them. You now have a board of Lessons posts with a point of view: this is the kind of Lessons writing I want to make.
  3. On each post, write one line about what you want from it — the opening, the way it turns, the ending. Point at the part with the Take chips.
  4. When you have something to say about Lessons, open the board and Remix. Your product, their moves, none of their words.

Or start from the Lessons posts themselves, ordered by likes.

See it in the posts

Every number above is a post in the library, with the mechanics named beside it.
