Status

Usable. Should you run into a HTTP 500 Internal Server Error, please
file a bug report with the URL of the post you were trying to read and
the git commit hash of the build. Git commit hash can be obtained from
/api/v1/meta/build.

This proxy works by interacting with Medium's undocumented(probably
private but unauthenticated) API. So I've had to make assumptions and
tweak API schematics as I run into errors.

Features

• proxy images
• proxy GitHub gists
• render posts
• syntax highlighting for gists
• user pages(WIP)
• RSS feeds

Why?

Knowledge is the true wealth of humanity. If it weren't for our
ancestors, who chose to pass down their knowledge and experiences, we
would still be a primitive species. Whatever advancement that we as
a species have achieved is because we chose to share information.

To put a paywall on knowledge like that is both obscene and goes against
the very nature of humanity.

It is possible to run a sustainable publication business while still
respecting freedom. LWN.net is one of my favourite
publications that has been around forever. So it is possible. I hope
medium.com comes up with other, non-harmful ways to run a sustainable
business.
