Hi there, great article!

I've created a much more simpler (but feature-rich) version of Medium API (http://hub.mediumapi.com). You might wanna check it out.

It not only grabs all the article in an instant, but also gives you the markdown or plain textual content of the article that you can directly use to convert into HTML pages for your site.

If anyone is looking to do so .... let me know if I can help ;)
