pdfinverter VS newser

Golang's image package is fairly easy to use. Here is an example.

I still say QT is one of the best out there for Go imo... you will have to do some googling as the docs are lengthy as hell without many good comments. But you can do anything that QT does in any other language. Many times I had to lookup Python or C++ examples and figure it out from there. It always works though. Here's some silly examples: ex1 ex2 The only thing that I don't like about it, is that the first time you build your project a separate binary will be created in your directory for your Golang to work with. I haven't figured out any way around that... so if you package your app, you will have your Golang binary plus a separate qtbox one as well.

I had messed around with QT for go for a while and I actually like it. However I did not use qml though. Maybe you can poke around and get some ideas.

https://github.com/lnenad/newser is an open source project made specifically for this use case by an A5X user.

I've gotten myself a Supernote A5X (awesome device btw) and since it doesn't have a web browser or anything I've wanted to have a way to read news on it. I've hacked together this utility in a couple of days and it works wonders for me personally so I thought it might be interesting to others. It can also be used as a noise free newspaper generator as it removes images/ads/links and other noisy stuff.

(there is a screenshot of the first page of the generated pdf)

It scrapes (news) websites for content and puts it into a pdf. For me the pdf location is my dropbox supernote directory so my setup is to run this thing daily and have a fresh pdf with news whenever I want it.

It's rough around the edges probably (currently added crawl support for verge, ars, engadget) but I think it's a good base so if anyone wants to contribute feel free. Some of the stuff I want to add is pictures (maybe), maybe parse the text html to include font styling and other stuff.

I've tried to generalize it as much as possible so the crawling is pretty much automatic and is controlled by a config file where you define "rules" on how to parse the website.
