As I see more and more fun projects arise, I hacked up a quickmedium.com proxy for gemini. Medium tends to offer long reads withmostly just text, so it's perfect content for gemeni!

Have a look at gemini://b10m.net/cgi-bin/medium and paste your httpsmedium URL[1]"

It works very nicely, however, let me suggest a use case for it:linking to medium content through a gemini a capsule.

That use case could benefit, if you made, the url structure more"visible" so I can link to the content from my capsule with nothinking and probably less errors

I mean something like:

=

gemini://b10m.net/cgi-bin/medium?https:%2F%2Fmedium.com%2Fthe-ascent%2F21-tiny-habits-to-improve-your-life-in-2021-without-much-effort-2ab56e680947 21 Tiny Habits to Improve Your Life in 2021 Effortlessly

(Just literally took the first thing I got in medium)

So if you could add a litle feature to your proxy so it providesnot only the original url but the "gemini url" too that could bea massive help for those interesting on commenting medium contenton Gemini. (and with 100% less privacy issues for our friends!)
