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.
