An Application

I hadn't realized that Medium had made JavaScript a requirement to be able to read any Medium post - I'd had JS disabled for ages on Medium just because of all the extra cruft they added.

But now, without JS, you only get the first few lines of content, and the rest is loaded entirely with JS - which is...stupid.

Scribe fixes all that and focuses entirely on the author's content.

Why Would I Want to Use This?

  • You believe in an open web
  • You believe more in the author than the platform
  • You don't like the reading experience that Medium provides
  • You object to Medium's extortionist business tactics
  • You're concerned about how Medium uses your data
  • Other reasons
