Medium URLs

Open obsidianforensics opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

Add basic parsing for Medium URLs.

Examples:

  • https://medium.com/@konigsberg/patterns-and-anti-patterns-of-the-primary-interrupt-d82cc1362048
  • https://medium.com/timesketch/thinking-in-graphs-exploring-with-timesketch-84b79aecd8a6

I can try giving this a shot when I get some free time -- would love to dig in and learn more about it.

Sweet! The only things that jump out to me for parsing now are the "hash" at the end of the article name (info in reference above) and denoting the author/username in the URL path. I haven't dug into Medium more to see if any other interesting things can be pulled from URLs, but there very well could be.
