Extension summary

Medium.com has a front page news feed. It's great if you use Medium as a news discovery website, but not so great if you are prone to distraction (like most of us) and/or primarily use Medium.com as a writing tool. This extension hides the feed and instead presents you with quick links to write a new story or browse your drafts. You can still read stories that people share with you outside of the front page, you just won't be bombarded with story recommendations when you hit the front page anymore.
