rssfeed VS tridactyl

As simcop2387 mentioned, Hacker News’ RSS feed is here → https://news.ycombinator.com/rss

Unfortunately, it only includes the title and the submission’s link, no content, which makes it a bit useless if your intension is to actually read the articles and not just the titles, which you can already do by visiting the home page.

Some people have created complementary RSS feeds like this → https://github.com/cixtor/rssfeed#readme

I ported Mozilla’s Readability library to Go a couple of years ago [1] and use it every day to power a custom RSS feed of Hacker News via Reeder [2]. This is not a novelty, many people have ported Readability to different programming languages over the years.

You can achieve this with native messaging [0] in tridactyl [1]:

It's really cool, I've added an option to open these windows in floating mode automatically in my sway config through another application name iirc. Ans then I press a simple shortcut, and it opens my editor (Helix) with the already entered text and once I close it, it'll transfer the text from that temporary file which was open in your editor to the the input field/textare again.

as a pentadactly widow, i would recommend to anyone that is coming back to firefox tridactyl https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl

is it the same? no.

but is it close? hell yeah. it really helps me with productivity!

> I can't even edit the code that is taking focus and hijacking shortcuts!

You can remove the shortcuts pretty easily with a userscript, see lines ~410-440 here for inspiration: https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/blob/2eaba7e4ceec6de5...

Wait until you find out about Tridactyl [0], which, among a plethora of other features, can activate a command line where you can perform all these searches (for example, `:tabopen` will list and activate fuzzy search of all opened tabs).

You might be interested in using a browser plugin like Tridactyl instead, I’ve been using it for months now absolutely no complaints, no need to “simulate” the mouse anymore just use page hints to click exactly the html element you want to https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl

Nearly everything on reddit uses reddit-flavored markdown. Backticks for inline code, as you discovered, but indent code blocks with four spaces. I use a browser extension so that I can edit all my comments in Vim, so manipulating this markup, especially code blocks, is easy.

I use tridactyl but the limitation of firefox API prevents addon to even change the built-in shortcuts: https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/issues/1428.
