rss-parsers VS rdrview

Here's where I keep my projects: https://github.com/hussein-esmail7 (faster than explaining all my projects, descriptions are in the READMEs). I mainly work on template-maker, usertyles, and rss-parsers.

I do something similar on my own Github repository. I write them in Python per each site. If you want to take a look.

Every now and then I write programs that convert feeds locally, you can see what I’ve done at https://github.com/hussein-esmail7/rss-parsers/

I have some RSS parser Python programs on my GitHub if you want to check that out. I made one for VSCO today since it was similar to another one I had up there before. Let me know if it helps! (It might not work entirely on Windows because I don't have a Windows machine to test it on)

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.
