• Readable: A service for reading long-form content on any device

  Original author here. Thanks for the submission. I built the service mostly for myself because I have an old Kobo eBook reader and the browser is pretty basic. This works very well, though.

  Only after building it I realized that there could be more use-cases; for example when traveling and working from a bad connection. The pages are usually much more lightweight than the original ones and don't contain any trackers.

  I don't even have metrics for that service. No idea how many people are using it and I don't care for the most part. That said, if anyone is interested in using the service you can run your own instance and be completely independent.

  The code is here BTW: https://github.com/readable-app/readable.

  Did you mean the meta headers? Any example in particular that I could look at? We're in the process of testing different readability libraries. Here's a discussion on what we saw so far: https://github.com/readable-app/readable/issues/2 Maybe you can add a comment there so we don't forget to check your use-case.
