  • Content Parser – Extract Markdown, HTML or text from content-heavy websites

    I wrote something similar so I could save recipes and web pages for reading offline. And if you save in html, it will inline images, so you can have a single file. In markdown, it just creates a link.

    It also uses turndown and readability.

    It's pretty finicky (readability doesn't always identify the correct content or misses pieces of the content). If you want to charge for it, you'd have to fix some of those edge cases.

    Also, I don't think the value is this product is turning web pages into markdown, there are many free web clippers and archive sites that do this already. I see this as more of an "extra" in a product, like how Evernote has a web clipper built in to their note taking product.

    Also, it's cool to see other people care about a stripped down web reading experience too!
