medium-cli

A command‑line tool lets users browse Medium articles without leaving the terminal. It can list the current top stories, fetch trending posts for a specific tag, retrieve recent articles by a given author, and perform keyword searches. The interface supports options to limit the number of results, choose the latest versus trending items, and render selected articles as markdown directly in the console.

The tool also provides commands to read a story’s full content in the terminal or to open the URL in a web browser, optionally specifying the browser application. Users can combine search, tag, or author queries with the open command to launch the chosen article externally.

Implemented in Node.js and distributed via npm, the package is marked as stable and includes standard help and version flags. It is released under the MIT license, and contributions are welcomed through its public repository.
