Hey all,
As I see more and more fun projects arise, I hacked up a quick
medium.com proxy for gemini. Medium tends to offer long reads with
mostly just text, so it's perfect content for gemeni!
Have a look at gemini://b10m.net/cgi-bin/medium and paste your https
medium URL[1]

This kind of bridge raises a few questions

- medium.com texts are not under open licence so you can't redistribute it over a bridge that will strip most of it (ads included)- the author may have wanted some specific layout/markup that you won't be able to render- the authors / medium.com publishers are not aware that their content is available outside of medium.com

It may not seem harmful but I think it is wrong to proceed like this.

It works for something like wikipedia because the texts ARE licensedwith a compatible license for this kind of bridges.
