Create A Post

content <- "
# test

1. test1
2. test2

```r
this <- is(test)
```
"
medium_create_post("test", content = content)

Upload An Image

medium_upload_image("/path/to/image.png")

Limitations

• Since Medium doesn't provide update API, you cannot update existing posts via mediumr.
• Medium doesn't support tables. So, it makes little sense to use knitr::kabble() or formattable::formattable() for printing data.frames.
