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]

Thanks for creating this great project, I really like it.Apart from the Copyright thing (it sucks) I think this project isreally cool. If you are willing to share the source code, I would behosting one instance of this over Tor (As I do with other stuff).I don't think there's a big difference between your platform and thingslike, for example, Invidious, Nitter, Bibliogram or even Drew DevaultsHackerNews script. It simply makes reading *a lot* more pleasant.I really like reading in my Gemini client and it sucks that so muchcontent is only published on Medium. I say take back the web. Copying culture is part of it. The thing youdo absolutely is in the spirit of the early web, including freeavailability of information, to everyone.

People on mobile, with data caps, in rural regions of the US (orGermany for that matter, or quite a lot of other countries) also have aright to access this content, in my opinion. Your project is *great*for that.

Thanks again, you are my hero of the day
