Medium's reading experience is pretty bad with all the annoying popups showing up all over the place. Also with Ghost you can easily export your data and move it across different ghost installations, you can customize the look and feel of the blog, you can use your own custom ___domain without paying medium extra for that, etc.



For anyone that wants to move from Medium to Ghost easily, I made this thing to do that: https://github.com/ageitgey/medium_to_ghost


Ghost uses markdown, right? So does this tool export my medium blogs as markdown files, with links to the image files already embedded?

If so, I will be forever indebted xD


Ghost 2.0 uses Mobiledoc format now. But you could get Markdown + Images out of this with a little hacking and passing the output to https://github.com/yuloh/mobiledoc-markdown-renderer


Apparently it uses a format called Mobiledoc¹, not Markdown.
