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: Why is ChatGPT using 100% of my CPU?
I've noticed this too. 100% CPU usage, laptop temperature skyrockets and fans kick on whenever I'm on the ChatGPT website.
I believe I've found a solution. I'm on Linux Mint, I'm using Firefox. If I export chatGPT to a web app using Linux Mint's webapp-manager, the problem goes away. What's strange here is that this should be using same profile and version of Firefox as my actual browser. Maybe it's an extension causing an issue, but I only have ublock origin, tampermonkey, firefox translation which is an official addon, and multi-account container which is also an official addon.

Using extra Firefox profiles to make my life better
Surprised no one mentioned Linux Mint's Webapp Manager:
https://github.com/linuxmint/webapp-manager
Should be in more distros. Allows some basic tweaking of profiles and supports more than just Firefox (unfortunately not qutebrowser, though).

Is there a way to make PWAs to display their separate icon in the GNOME dock?
This is something that I really struggled with some time ago, but I finally managed to solve. Try out WebApp Manager, it's a fork of ICE, a previous version which also worked. It takes care of everything, even the WM_CLASS attribute needed to associate different windows of each PWA together but separated from the browser window. This completely changed the way I use my PC, nowadays I have more PWAs opened that desktop programs.

Any method to install websites as apps like in chromium based browsers?
Webapps are basically just shortcuts that launch the browser with no navigation bar - so it's possible to create them with something like https://github.com/linuxmint/webapp-manager
