## 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](https://libmedium.batsense.net/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.
|
|
|
|

## 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](https://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.
