A frontend for it, similar to Apple's Reader View: https://scribe.rip

Setting up a redirect for it greatly enchanced the internet browsing experience for me.

Sure, I can probably work around people who want to make their blog painful to read. I'd just rather read blogs written by people who want to make them easy to read...

I didn't consider many options to be honest. Medium was just an easy way to start writing. I am planning on moving to a platform where I have more control (was thinking self-hosted static html) eventually. Do you have a favorite alternative?

> Medium was just an easy way to start writing.

I understand and empathise. For sure it is much better to just start writing than to spend months obsessing over which technologies one is going to use.

Not-Medium is my favourite alternative! The bar is low: any static site generator would do fine. I wouldn't even mind you hosting on GitHub pages or whatever...
