## What it is
Freedium is a self-hostable web application that renders Medium.com articles behind the paywall for free, serving as the codebase behind freedium.cfd. It is built with Python/FastAPI on the backend, Tailwind CSS and Jinja2/Svelte on the frontend, and deployed via Docker Compose with Caddy, PostgreSQL, and a Redis-compatible cache.

## Use cases
- read medium articles without a paywall
- self-host a medium paywall bypass service
- parse medium article content into readable html
- run a freedium instance locally
- deploy a proxy service for medium content

## When to choose
- you want to self-host your own instance of the freedium.cfd service
- you need a deployable FastAPI + Docker stack that fetches and renders Medium articles
- you want to inspect or contribute to the Medium article parsing logic

## When to avoid
- you need a supported, licensed library to embed in another project (no license is specified)
- you want a maintained paywall bypass for sites other than Medium
- you need guaranteed Windows or macOS support (only Linux is tested)
