Why a publication index?

Medium makes it hard to list all articles in a publication in sequential order. You have to visit “http://medium.com/publication-name/archive”

When you get to the archive, it filters and sorts posts by popularity. You can change it to sort by date, but it will still only show the 10 most popular posts. After that you have to go through month by month to browse through posts in order.

To save us that headache, I’m maintaining this index of all posts!
