Ask HN: A Sci-Hub alternative for Medium Posts?

2 pointskonsalexee2 comments

Hey Hackers. I was curious if anyone would find useful a Sci-hub version for Medium Posts.

Sci-hub is striving to provide free access to millions of research papers and books, and Medium has become a repository of knowledge sharing about design, code, well-being and more but is strictly secured.

Now with the paywall we are unable to read anything, and we are forced to pay.

Curious to hear your thoughts.

The Medium paywall relies on existing cookies to limit the amount of articles you can read in one session. Clearing your cookies or using private browsing defeats it.

I use Brave and I do that.

The most confusing part for me is that I am unable to "clap" or bookmark the articles inside medium when I use incognito, in order to revisit them in a future time.

Bookmarking them in Raindrop is the current solution for me, but still I feel that there is a lot of friction going on.
