I don't have a Medium account so I'm not sure if this is still true, but there was once a button in the settings to export your content as a zipball. If you'd like to migrate to a self-hosted blog, I wrote a tool which will convert this zipball into a Jekyll blog:

https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/unmediumify

If you want, shoot me an email for free hosting, and I'll rig up builds.sr.ht to automate deployment for you, too: sir@cmpwn.com



That's pretty nice. For people looking for an alternative with the same convenience as Medium, converting the archive of Medium posts to a GitHub Pages site could be a decent solution.


My favorite part:

    # Remove the stupid footer
    footer = soup.find("footer").extract()


They still should have a feature like that due to GDPR compliance, even if the dark patterns / investors would like the feature removed for retention.


I exported it last year to move to Hugo. I will check your tool out since I still haven't migrated images from medium.


ooops


Jesus christ, dude. Lots of people have praised the design, too. Not everything suits everyone.


?


Looks like they edited their comment. They were railing on git.sr.ht's design.
