# Medium to Scribe Redirect
A Tampermonkey/Greasemonkey userscript that automatically redirects Medium articles to [scribe.rip](https://scribe.rip) for a cleaner reading experience.
## Features
- Detects Medium articles on **any domain** (including custom domains like `proandroiddev.com`)
- Only redirects actual articles, not homepages or navigation pages
- Works with Medium's fingerprint detection (not just URL patterns)
- Lightweight and runs at document-start for fast redirects
## Installation
1. Install [Tampermonkey](https://www.tampermonkey.net/) (Chrome/Edge/Firefox/Safari)
2. Click the link below to install the script:
**[Install Script](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abd3lraouf/medium-to-scribe/main/redirect-medium-to-scribe.user.js)**
3. Click "Install" in the Tampermonkey dialog
## What it does
| URL | Action |
|-----|--------|
| `proandroiddev.com/some-article-8d0b952e2853` | ✅ Redirects to scribe.rip |
| `medium.com/@author/article-title-abc123` | ✅ Redirects to scribe.rip |
| `proandroiddev.com/` | ❌ Ignored (homepage) |
| `medium.com/tagged/android` | ❌ Ignored (tag page) |
| `medium.com/@author` | ❌ Ignored (profile page) |
## How it works
1. Checks if the URL path looks like an article (has a slug with hex ID or long title)
2. Monitors the page for Medium's fingerprint (`__GRAPHQL_URI__` or publisher metadata)
3. Redirects to the equivalent scribe.rip URL
