Embed Medium stories on your website

I’m going to be honest. I’m not going to reinvent the wheel today.

Last week I looked into how I could show my Medium posts on my website. And I ran in to a great post by Sabesan here on Medium (his post). He sums up a few different methods that you can use.

I choose to try the Retainable.io method. It worked great and was very easy to work with. The only negative is that you have very few choices. For example, I could not find a way to control how many Medium stories that was going to be displayed. You can control grid or slider and number of columns, which is great, but still not the number of stories. If you are interested you can read the documentation here.

In the end I decided to not show my stories at all, but just link to my Medium account. Simply because I did not think it looked great to show the stories on my website. Not because the layout was poorly done, but purely because I’m aiming for a more clean look over all.
