Show HN: Reader Mode, but Better
There already is crowdsourcing of broken page reports: https://github.com/lindylearn/unclutter/issues?q=is%3Aissue+...
And twitter.com is a special case: https://github.com/lindylearn/unclutter/issues/570
I'm working on those, but it's never going to be perfect unfortunately.

It all started with a r/chrome post a few months ago, and since then we've added many improvements to our GitHub project.

Show HN: Reader Mode that shows Hacker News comments inline
Hey! This is a reader mode browser extension I built that hides noisy page elements rather than extracting and re-rendering only the page text. The idea is to not make all articles look the same [0], have them still render graphs, and ideally to work in more cases.
There are a few "tricks": patching the site CSSOM to apply simpler mobile styles even at desktop width, detecting the likely main text & removing its non-text siblings, blocklists for classnames that contain words like "sidebar", and testing this on a few hundred popular sites.
I got carried away and also added a dark mode, page outlines, private annotations & inline Hacker News comments.
The last feature works by parsing every top-level HN comment with a quote in it (formatted with > or "") within a few minutes, and anchoring these quotes in the related article HTML. So when you click a link on HN you’ll see the parts people are talking about while reading. [1]
The code is all on GitHub!
[0] Screenshots comparing it to the Firefox reader mode: https://github.com/lindylearn/unclutter/blob/main/docs/compa...
[1] It's fun to try this on some of the "HN classics" that got 30+ quote comments over the years. The list at hn.lindylearn.io/best shows the number of “annotations” an article has beneath its title.

Show HN: Unclutter – New Reader Mode Extension with Inline Hacker News Comments
Hey! This is a reader mode browser extension I built that hides noisy page elements rather than extracting and re-rendering only their text content. The idea is to not make all articles look the same [0], have them still render graphs, and ideally to work in more cases.
There are a few "tricks": patching the site CSSOM to apply simpler mobile styles even at desktop width, cleaning up parents of DOM text nodes, blocklists for class names that contain words like "sidebar", plus manual CSS patches for popular sites.
I got carried away and also added a dark mode, page outlines, privates notes & inline Hacker News comments. [1]
The last feature works by parsing every top-level HN comment with a quote in it (formatted with > or "") within a few minutes, and anchoring these quotes in the story article HTML. So when you open a link you'll directly see the parts people are talking about here. [2]

Show HN: Lurnby, a tool for better learning, is now open source
Huh, you are correct. I guess a better way to put this is "the original Readability I encountered was in Python"! The first version I saw was in Aaron Swartz's 2012 read2text tool, but a check of the URL I found that through says, yup, it's a Python port of Arc90's original code, which was a browser extension.
And you're right. It was in JavaScript. I finally tracked a copy down (the original is long evaporated): https://github.com/masukomi/arc90-readability/blob/master/js...
