What it replaces
Scribe replaces Medium's article pages. It shows articles only; it is not made to browse or search Medium.
- Medium articles on a plain page.
- Works for Medium sites on custom domains too.
Instances on 9 November 2026
| Address | Result | Note |
|---|---|---|
| scribe.rawbit.ninja | works | Our test article opened. |
| scribe.nixnet.services | loads | Start page opens; our test article returned a server error. |
| m.opnxng.com | bot check | A JavaScript check runs first. |
Results: works = a real content page came back; bot check = a short JavaScript check runs before the site opens; loads = the start page opens, but a content page was not confirmed; moved = the address now forwards somewhere else; down = no answer. Public instances change often, so check the project's own instance list too.
How to use it
- Change medium.com in an article link to the Scribe domain.
- Open profile or search pages on Medium itself; Scribe shows articles only.

On an iPhone 7 (iOS 15.8, Safari 15.6)
Articles are plain server-made pages, so Safari 15.6 shows them. Not yet tested on a real iPhone 7.
What you keep private, and what you do not
Medium sees the instance's server instead of you. The instance you choose still sees your IP address and the pages you open, the same as any website does, so pick an operator you trust, or run your own copy. No guide here needs an account or an email address.
Run your own copy
- Source code: https://git.sr.ht/~edwardloveall/scribe.
- The repository includes a Dockerfile maintained by the community (from the README).
Known problems
- A profile address gives Scribe's own error 422: it only displays articles.
