rdrview VS nb

See also the C port here: https://github.com/eafer/rdrview/

It works well with text-mode browsers like w3m.

i also use rdrview sometimes.

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.

Could have been nice to have this integrated to w3m. Somthing along the lines of rdrview.

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.

Two projects that do this with nearly identical output:

- https://github.com/eafer/rdrview

- https://github.com/go-shiori/go-readability

Pipe the filtered HTML output into your favorite textual web browser for an ideal reading experience.

This may help if you can do some piping around it.. https://github.com/eafer/rdrview

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.

A few tools I've come across that I've used.

Doing [1] by Brett Terspstra; "A command line tool for keeping track of what you’re doing and tracking what you’ve done."

NA [2] (Next Action) also by Brett Terpstra; "A command line tool for adding and listing per-project todos."

nb [3] is "a command line and local web note‑taking, bookmarking, archiving, and knowledge base application"

nb supports multiple notebooks, Git-based version control and a bunch of other things

I use [nb](https://github.com/xwmx/nb). It's a CLI tool (easy to write a GUI for if you want one) that is fast, uses Git to version control things, and handles more than just bookmarks. I sync across computers using Dropbox.

Depending on how minimal you want to go, nb is viable, but any “features” you’d have to script yourself. https://xwmx.github.io/nb/

I found xwmx's `nb` which I quite like for its git remote integration and tools, but I find it somewhat clunky to interact with. On top of this, I am relatively inexperienced with vim, would like to keep my config very simple, and have no idea how to integrate `nb` with vim directly.

It depends on your needs, but give nb a try: * https://xwmx.github.io/nb/
