Medium.com proxy

Hey all,

As I see more and more fun projects arise, I hacked up a quick
medium.com proxy for gemini. Medium tends to offer long reads with
mostly just text, so it's perfect content for gemeni!

Have a look at gemini://b10m.net/cgi-bin/medium and paste your https
medium URL[1]
"

It works very nicely, however, let me suggest a use case for it:
linking to medium content through a gemini a capsule.

That use case could benefit, if you made, the url structure more
"visible" so I can link to the content from my capsule with no
thinking and probably less errors

I mean something like:

=> gemini://b10m.net/cgi-bin/medium?https:%2F%2Fmedium.com%2Fthe-ascent%2F21-tiny-habits-to-improve-your-life-in-2021-without-much-effort-2ab56e680947  21 Tiny Habits to Improve Your Life in 2021 Effortlessly

(Just literally took the first thing I got in medium)

So if you could add a litle feature to your proxy so it provides
not only the original url but the "gemini url" too that could be
a massive help for those interesting on commenting medium content
on Gemini. (and with 100% less privacy issues for our friends!)
