Enhance Your Medium Reading Experience, Unlock RSS Feeds and TOC on Medium.
Introduction
Remember last year’s summary when I mentioned that I wanted to write more code despite how busy life was? I haven’t forgotten my promise, even though it’s been a while.
I’ve noticed some pain points while using Medium, such as the lack of a table of contents (TOC) and RSS feeds. Determined to solve my own problems while also learning front-end and AI development along the way, I decided to create a Chrome extension. It seemed like a win-win situation—why not give it a try?
However, developing the extension wasn’t as straightforward as I thought. Conducting research on TOC and RSS feeds took up a lot of time, and as someone primarily working with backend development, front-end coding felt quite challenging. Yet, I managed to push through and feel like I’ve made progress. So, here it is.

Options
This provides some options for selection. You can try them out on your own. Right-click the plugin icon and select “Options” to adjust settings.
Other Information
Since I’m relatively new to frontend development, the code is basic. For now, I won’t demonstrate it. In the future, I’ll open-source the code once it’s refined.
Feel free to reach out with any questions or feedback. I’ll address them promptly upon receipt.
