Show HN: I made a tool to clean and convert any webpage to Markdown
Thoroughly scraping is challenging, especially in an environment where you don’t have (or want) a JavaScript runtime.
For content extraction, I found the approach the Postlight library takes quite neat. It scores individual html nodes based on some heuristics (text length, link density, css classes). It the selects the nodes with the highest score. [1] I ported it to Swift for a personal read later app.

Trouble Building Chrome Extension to Get News Article Content
I've been working on an enhanced reader mode extension for the last few months. I found that Mercury Reader's parser tool is useful for extracting content. If that's not exactly what you're looking for, readibility is another good option. It's a library used inside Firefox's reader moder that you can use in any project.

What Are The Coolest Virtual Machines You Currently Run 24/7?
I currently have it turned off while I search for better sources, but I have a VM that runs a custom cron script that combines a custom RSS reader, podfox, mercury-parser, and coqui-ai to generate audio podcasts from RSS news feeds. I should probably clean it up and release the script/setup process. With a few tweaks and some AI text-to-speech and a little machine learning audio processing you can get a really good podcast experience from text posts.

Extracting Text button no longer works
It looks like Relay could be updated to convert it locally though, since the parser that it uses appears to be open source.

API for getting news fulltext
An alternative would be to extract the plain text from the article's page with either some "readability" API or a library like Mercury Parser: https://github.com/postlight/mercury-parser

How does Firefox's Reader View work?
I haven’t directly compared them, but I have also found mercury parser (https://github.com/postlight/mercury-parser) to be very reliable.
Since it turns a website into very plain (X)HTML it‘s fairly easy to use it to make a browsing proxy or automatically produce epub files for e-readers, which is what I do.

Build your self-hosted Evernote
Make sure that at the end of the process you have the node and npm executables installed - the http.webpage integration uses the Mercury Parser API to convert web pages to Markdown.

Reading from the web offline and distraction-free
Good luck! Those HTML issues you're coming across are tough and so varied across the web!
I was working with Mercury Parser (pluggable parsing for different sites) in the past.

Show HN: Lurnby, a tool for better learning, is now open source
Huh, you are correct. I guess a better way to put this is "the original Readability I encountered was in Python"! The first version I saw was in Aaron Swartz's 2012 read2text tool, but a check of the URL I found that through says, yup, it's a Python port of Arc90's original code, which was a browser extension.
And you're right. It was in JavaScript. I finally tracked a copy down (the original is long evaporated): https://github.com/masukomi/arc90-readability/blob/master/js...
