Medium and custom domains
Published on in 💬 Micro
After Medium had already announced last year that custom domains were to return, this is now finally the case. However, a membership is a prerequisite.
A good change in my opinion, even if I will no longer use this feature or Medium as a whole.
We hope custom domains help make your space on Medium feel like your own.
Remember: Even if it feels like it, it’s not your own!
However, it is now finally possible for me to separate the domain android.jlelse.eu from AndroidPub. I have set up BunnyCDN to redirect requests to the medium.com domain.

ShortPixel API

Until today, I used the Tinify API to compress images on my blog. About 250 images per month are free, after that it’s pretty cheap. (I never exceeded the free limit).
Why I don’t care if people visit my blog
Published on in 💭 Thoughts
I take the position that I don’t care where people consume my content. Be it directly on the site, via RSS or via Telegram Instant View. I don’t give a shit. The main thing is that people find a use or like what I publish.
