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.

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.

Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (January 2021)
SEEKING WORK | Argentina | Remote
Email: [email protected]
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: Have you reduced technical knowledge contributions?
That’s interesting.
I have predictive models that can predict if a headline (w/o the rest of the article and not considering the URL) will (a) get more than 10 votes and (b) if it does get more than 10 votes will the votes/comments ratio be more than 2 (which is roughly average)
The first model gets a ROC-AUC (see https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.me...) in the low 60’s (not good, the second model gets in the low 70’s (actually pretty good though it is a heat seeking missile for clickbait headlines) and my latest content-based recommender for RSS items gets almost 80. (I saw a paper that one system at TikTok gets about 85)
To do all that you need about 10,000 headlines and don’t get a lot of benefit from having more than 100,000. The ceilings on performance have more to do with the nature of the problem rather than my models: the same article can get submitted twice and get 0 votes one time and 200 the other time so it can never be as accurate as “is this an article about galactic astronomy?”
I had it ingest the HN comments firehose and found the amount of articles was overwhelming, my YOShInOn RSS reader now ingests the “best comments” from
https://hnrss.github.io/
together with 110 other feeds and actually I like the comments it picks out a lot. Now that the system is adding about 3000 items per day it might be able to handle a big feed like the comments firehose since now those comments are diluted with so many quality articles. For a problem like that you might want a two-score system with: (i) is it relevant? (something I like) and (ii) is it popular? (like Google’s PageRank)
I think you could make a model that compares comments in the best comments feed with other comments. I have tried formulating the problems above as regression problems where I try to predict the actual score and it does not work well because of the uncertainty problem but formulated as a classification problem for a score over a threshold it is easy to make a well-calibrated model that tells you “this article has a 20% chance of frontpaging” which is about the best anyone can do.

ps i’m ok with some % of false positives, but hopefully a sprinkle of OpenAI could keep that magically low?
thanks

RSS can be used to distribute all sorts of information
It sounds interesting but I use https://hnrss.github.io/
Unless it had most of the features of hnrss.org I would not be able to use it.
Perhaps you could pivot your approach and submit a PR to hnrss for the feature?
