How to use it
Three steps. Under two minutes. No developer needed.
Drop in @marcus.acme, your medium.com URL, profile, or profile feed. Poper resolves the underlying RSS endpoint and previews your latest stories before you embed.
Choose the native Default layout, or Grid, Slider, Masonry, Highlight, Bento, Polaroid, Filmstrip, Shape or Neon. Tune the font family, accent colors and spacing to match your essay-first site.
Paste the Poper embed snippet into your site. Works on Webflow, Framer, Ghost, Notion Sites, WordPress, and supported HTML setup writers actually use.
Works everywhere
Drop-in install on WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Framer, Ghost, and any HTML-friendly stack. No build step, no developer needed.
Plus 250+ other platforms via the embed snippet. If your site can render a <script> tag, it can render the Medium Feed Widget: Embed Profile, Publication and Tag Stories on Any Site.
Six things that matter when you are paying for a Medium widget, not 30 features no one uses.
Medium has no public read API for non-RSS access, so most third-party widgets either scrape (against Medium's ToS, frequently blocked) or sit on a fragile hidden endpoint. Poper parses Medium's official, supported RSS feed at medium.com/feed/@handle. When Medium ships a redesign, your embed keeps working because the RSS contract has not changed since 2014.
Use the styling controls available for this feed layout.
Pull a single author, an entire publication, or a tag stream like medium.com/tag/design-systems from one supported source at a time. Built for personal sites, company blogs, and curated reading lists.
Each story renders as a card with the cover image, title, excerpt and publish date pulled straight from Medium's RSS feed, so visitors can scan and pick the story that fits.
Every story card links to the full post on Medium. Member-only stories open on Medium where the paywall enforces access, so your Medium Partner Program reading time still accrues on medium.com.
If your publication runs on a custom domain via Medium for Publishers, Poper resolves it back to the underlying medium.com/feed endpoint automatically. Your embed reflects the publication exactly, even when the public URL hides Medium entirely.
Use cases
Four buyer types who get the most lift from embedding Medium Feed Widget: Embed Profile, Publication and Tag Stories on Any Site on their site.
Engineers and indie hackers post technical write-ups on Medium because that is where the developer audience reads. Embed your stories on your portfolio so recruiters and clients see your latest algorithm essays and language deep-dives without leaving your homepage.
Founders, design directors, and brand consultants use Medium for long-form essays on craft. A widget on your homepage signals you are actively writing on typography, color, and product judgment, and quietly grows Medium follows from your existing site traffic.
Use your own analytics to validate this feed on your site.
Product managers, growth analysts, and data journalists turn cohort dashboards and scatter plots into Medium essays. Embed those stories on your work site so recruiters see the full narrative arc, not just the dashboard screenshots.

“Poper's Medium Feed widget gave my portfolio a live writing section without rebuilding cards after every essay. I connected my Medium profile, matched the typography to my site, and every new story appears as a clean branded card.”
“Our publication lives on Medium, but prospects judge us on our own domain. The Medium Feed widget lets us show the latest strategy essays on our site while every card still links readers back to the full Medium story.”
“We use Poper to feature our Medium tag stream on a resource page. The layout looks like part of our brand, and visitors can scan recent essays before opening the original post on Medium.”

Medium reached 100 million monthly active readers and remains the default home for long-form essays, technical writing, and thought leadership on the open web. The catch is that Medium hosts the writing, while your site hosts the brand. Visitors land on your homepage, see no recent thinking, and leave. A Medium feed widget closes that gap by pulling your latest stories onto your own site so the work and the brand show up in the same place. This guide walks through what actually matters when you choose and configure a medium feed widget in 2026: the RSS-based access model, the Medium Partner Program and the paywall, profiles, the post-2023 reach decline that nobody at Medium will admit on the record, and whether Substack migration is the right escape hatch.
Medium has never shipped a public read API for non-RSS access. There is an unauthenticated GraphQL endpoint that powers the medium.com frontend, but it is undocumented, rate-limited aggressively, blocked by IP for repeated automated requests, and explicitly off-limits under Medium's Terms of Service. Every widget tool that claims to read Medium content via something other than RSS is either scraping that GraphQL endpoint and praying it stays up, or scraping the rendered HTML, which Medium routinely changes. The official, supported, and only durable integration path is RSS at medium.com/feed/@username for profiles, medium.com/feed/publication-slug for publications, and medium.com/feed/tag/topic for tag streams. Poper parses one supported RSS source for the widget. When Medium redesigns the site, ships a new homepage layout, or rotates internal endpoints, the RSS contract stays stable because it has not meaningfully changed since 2014. The trade-off: RSS exposes the most recent 10 stories per feed by default, which is plenty for a homepage embed but not a full archive. For archive pages, link visitors to Medium's archive view or your own CMS archive.

Medium for Publishers lets publications run on custom domains so the public URL hides medium.com entirely. A reader visits journal.companyname.com and sees a clean branded experience, but under the hood the publication is still hosted on Medium and the RSS feed still lives at medium.com/feed/publication-slug. The complication for widget tools: when you paste journal.companyname.com into a widget builder, the tool needs to resolve that custom domain back to the underlying Medium publication slug before it can pull RSS. Most third-party widgets do not handle this and either reject the URL or pull the wrong feed. Poper resolves custom-domain Medium publications by following redirects and reading the canonical link tag in the publication's homepage HTML, which Medium injects automatically. Paste journal.companyname.com, Poper detects it is a Medium publication on a custom domain, looks up the underlying slug, and embeds the correct feed. Your embed reflects exactly what is published, even when the public URL is fully white-labeled. This matters most for company blogs that migrated TO Medium specifically because they wanted the writing tool and reader network without the medium.com branding showing on every page.
Medium's organic reach for individual writers has measurably declined since 2023. The shift started when Medium pivoted away from algorithmic distribution toward editor-curated publications and Boost-eligible stories, which means most writers without an existing audience now see story-level traffic 50 to 80 percent lower than 2021 numbers. The Medium Partner Program payout formula changed three times in the same window, generally reducing per-read earnings. Many established writers have publicly migrated to Substack or self-hosted stacks like Ghost or even back to WordPress. This is not a reason to abandon Medium, since Medium is still excellent as a writing tool and still has a real reader network, but it is a strong reason to mirror your Medium content on your own site. If Medium continues its current trajectory and your audience increasingly finds you through Google search or direct visits to your site rather than the Medium homepage, your owned domain becomes the durable channel and your Medium handle becomes a syndication mirror. A medium feed widget makes that strategy automatic. New Medium posts appear on your site within an hour of publishing, your homepage stays fresh without manual cross-posting, and if you decide to migrate to Substack or Ghost in the future, your readers were on your site, not Medium, all along. This is the boring but correct posture for any writer or publication that takes their audience seriously in 2026.

A Medium feed widget is an embeddable script that pulls stories from a Medium profile, publication, or tag stream onto a third-party website using Medium's official RSS feed at medium.com/feed/@username, medium.com/feed/publication-name, or medium.com/feed/tag/topic.
