Mozilla: Readability.js
See also the C port here: https://github.com/eafer/rdrview/
It works well with text-mode browsers like w3m.
-
firefox 'naked'
i also use rdrview sometimes.
- Is there a CLI tool to download only the relevant text from an article? A mix of Curl and the tranqulity firefox addon?
-
w3m rocks
They both parse untrusted content content without sandboxing.
I typically send content through rdrview[0] before piping through w3m-sandbox[1], which should be pretty safe.

reader, a minimal command line reader offering better readability of web pages on the CLI
Could have been nice to have this integrated to w3m. Somthing along the lines of rdrview.
- How to apply readability to already saved html pages?

Reading from the web offline and distraction-free
I do a lot of this work[3] (web to documents) and it's interesting to see other approaches. The medium image problem is something I've faced as well, but never got around to fixing. I'm planning to get a Remarkable soon, so will definitely be trying this out.
My personal solution has been https://github.com/captn3m0/url-to-epub/ (Node/readability), which I've tested against the entirety of Tor's original fiction collection[0] where it performs well enough (I'm biased). Another tool that does this beautifully well is percollate[1], but it doesn't give enough control of the metadata to the user - something I really care about.
I've also started to use rdrview[2], which is a C-port of the current Firefox implementation of "reader view". It is very unix-y, so it is easy to pipe content to it (I usually run it through tidy first). Quite helpful in building web-archiving or web-to-pdf or web-to-kindle pipelines easily.

I'm a programmer, most familiar with C on Linux and Win32. I'll be happy to start a project from scratch, or to help support any old codebase. For a sample of my work please see rdrview [1], a small command line tool that found some success here on Hacker News; or [2], a naive filesystem implementation I've been working on.
My current rate is 20 USD/hour. For what it's worth, I have a background in math.

Ask HN: Full-text browser history search forever?
I've had a lot of success by running HTML pages through mozilla's readability[0] tool (actually the go port of it[1]) before indexing it.

I'm using https://github.com/go-shiori/go-readability -- a Go re-implementation of Mozilla's readability-js library. It does a pretty good job.
