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.

Show HN: Hackernews_tui – A Terminal UI to Browse Hacker News Discussions
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.

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.

The Case Against AI Everything, Everywhere, All at Once
You can still choose automation. The easier route for me is to use wallabag to save the article. Then on my remarkable tablet I can grab a very readable document with https://github.com/koreader/koreader.
The other option is to use https://github.com/danburzo/percollate to convert a webpage to a nice document directly. I use both tools depending on my needs.
-
Share my down(load) function!
This function is just a simple combination with yt-dlp and percollate.
- Selfhosted service to screenshot websites - but I'm not finding the options I need

Reverse Engineering or Recreating the Chrome Extension?
If someone hasn't already done this and I can't figure out how they are converting HTML, I have also considered using Percollate to convert, then sending to ReMarkable via rmapi.
-
ArchiveBox Alternative
The Cli Tool Percollate offers a different approach, but is also very good: https://github.com/danburzo/percollate
- Reading web articles on the reMarkable

Is there a command line program to convert web pages into readable markdown/htm/pdf format? preferably markdown
Concerning pdf there is the well known wkhtmltopdf , but let me say that I love the not so well known percollate
- CLI to turn web pages into beautiful, readable PDF, ePub, or HTML docs

Show HN: Lurnby, a tool for better learning, is now open source
Since I'm working on a similar project, this is how I am planning to pull content from the web, utilizing percollate[1] to get the HTML content, I haven't written any implementation for this in Python yet.
If you don't mind me asking, how were you going to implement spaced repetition? Since the Incremental Reading algorithm has never been published as far as I know.
