Hacker News Reader

Its not the articles, its the platform (and its aesthetics). Medium is not meant for things like code samples and shoehorning them in leads to these fullwidth blocks which are hard to read. The fullwidth images and embeds are also somewhat annoying.

There are better places to reproduce your content

edit, fixing a typo

so you would rather hide the "content" because you dont like how it's presented?

Why do you care what other people are hiding?

Someone requested it on DN because they prefer to visit Medium directly. I made it pretty much because I could. To be honest, I have it installed but keep it off.

Because they are idiots. Seriously. Medium articles are not super-prevalent (4 in top 200 right now). And tend to be more thoughtful than much of the content that shows up here.
