medium.rip

This is an alternative frontend for Medium written in Go. I was inspired by the Scribe project, but wanted a few different things, and I did not know Crystal.

Building

Please feel free to self host and run this on your own. I only ask that you contribute any changes back upstream.

Dependencies

• Go (at least v1.20)
• Node.js
• PNPM

Building

First, build the frontend

cd frontend
pnpm i
pnpm run build

Then, build the binary. The frontend static files will be embedded in the binary using go:embed.

go mod download
go build .

You should now have a static binary called medium.rip that is self contained.

Dockerfile

You can alternately build and run via docker

docker build -t medium-rip .
docker run -p 3000:3000 -e PORT=3000 medium-rip
