DESCRIPTION
Medium's array based markup requires the view layer to peek into the
next element to terminate the previous element's formatting rules.
So a <ul> element's termination is specified by the appearance of an
element that isn't a <ul>. This patch maintains state and lazily
applies formatting rules when termination is detected.

Privacy-focused proxy for medium.com
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.
