OpenArticle 1.0.2 update
OpenArticle has been updated. Here are the latest release notes for version 1.0.2.
Latest release: version 1.0.2.
What changed
This release includes bug fixes and enhancements for the Medium paywall bypass flow, reader overlay, and article detection.
Enhancements
- Added a focused reader overlay for Medium articles so you can open the full article without the paywall getting in the way.
- Improved the reading experience with automatic dark mode support and a quick ESC shortcut to close the reader.
- Kept the extension lightweight so the OpenArticle button and reader stay focused on one job: opening the article clearly.
Bug fixes
- Improved reliability for detecting supported Medium article pages.
- Added clearer error handling and a problem report path when an article cannot be opened.
After updating
Please reload any open Medium tabs so OpenArticle can detect the article page and show the latest reader button.
If the reader does not open, refresh the Medium page once more or close and reopen the tab.
