Show HN: Flyscrape – A standalone and scriptable web scraper in Go
Interesting. Can you compare it to colly? [0]
Last time I looked it was the most popular choice for scraping in Go and I have some projects using it.
Is it similar? Does it have more/less features or is it more suited for a different use case? (Which one?)

Web Scraping in Python: Avoid Detection Like a Ninja
We could write some snippets mixing all these, but the best option in real life is to use a tool with it all, like Scrapy, pyspider, node-crawler (Node.js), or Colly (Go).

I have this code On Playground.. It is very simplified... but when reading from file it breaks and cannot handle rune characters.... The strings.Replace function just stops working
It looks like you're trying to parse HTML by using the strings package. For reference, you might be better off using an xpath tool or the html package that has built-in tokenizers to do your tokenizing. That makes it easier to find the nodes you're looking for and the values contained within those nodes.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing colly and xpath you can also consider the following projects:
GoQuery - A little like that j-thing, only in Go.
