Link to Scribe URLs instead of Medium in News?

[jerodsanto]

Now that Scribe exists, it might be cool to link to it as a frontend for Medium posts.

Pros

• Better reading experience
• No Medium sign up spam

Cons/Questions

• What if Scribe goes away for some reason? Would we even know? Or would our links just start to 404?
• What if authors are trying to build a Medium-based following? Are we betraying their intent?

Do you still want to look into this @jerodsanto in 2022?

If not, I am all for closing it and maybe re-opening when you feel like it.

I think it's something we should do, but not high priority. I added the help-wanted label so I'd rather leave it open so people can see it.
