Features

The goal of this app is to purely extend medium.com's experience into desktops. We don't intend to modify/replace any behavior. For every feature we add, we ask ourselves "Would Medium do it, If they built a desktop app?".

• The first goal is to be able to use medium.com without any issues in it's own window. So it is always accessible through your Applications folder, Dock / Task Bar, Search. To find your draft, you don't have to dig through browser tabs anymore.
• Native Menus & Shortcuts for commonly used functions (<kbd>Cmd</kbd> <kbd>N</kbd> / <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> <kbd>N</kbd> - New Story, <kbd>Cmd</kbd> <kbd>F</kbd> / <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> <kbd>F</kbd> - Search Medium, <kbd>Cmd</kbd> <kbd>0-7</kbd> / <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> <kbd>0-7</kbd> - Home, Drafts, Public Stories, Stats, Bookmarks, Publications, Profile, Settings.)

Coming Soon

• Import file from disk...
• Back & Forward within the App
• Open in Browser
• Pin pages to keep them open
• External URLs show a top bar similar to medium
