Protip: Copy the link of any blog post written ontop of the medium platform and send it to yourself as a dm over twitter.

Unlimited access to articles & acts as a nice repo of the things you read.

This works because twitter owns medium and uses a special link shortener afaik. I'm guessing there is also a 3rd party website that will do this for you.

Great tip, but just fyi, Medium is not owned by Twitter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium_(website)
