@focusedone I tried reader mode in several browsers it was such a hit or miss, it just did not work for me, and honestly I wanted to convert to markdown not just plain text
I tried several reader modes, there were several issues including
* several potions of the main content was missing
* the navigation bits get caught when in reader mode
* the comments and other un-related sections come in play
I really tried these before invesitng time in this
@focusedone if you see the code link here https://github.com/subranag/declutter/blob/main/src/page.ts there are some specific techniques recommended to simulate normal browsing behaviour, but it does not work 100% percent of the times, but works on most of the sites
for example
* simulate scrolling after page loads
* simulate plugins
* simulate location
etc
once all of this is done hopefully the HTML content becomes readable
You could be right. But plenty of websites with useful information intentionally obfuscate their pages to trick the browser into disabling reader mode.
All of these items appear to have received the HN hug of death. They're all showing as unavailable for me, who just wanted to drop a friendly lime hello to a friend across town.
Was thinking the same thing. This seems better suited for chatting with arbitrary people nearby, but with zero verification of who you're talking to. You don't have to set up an account at all, just install the app and start chatting as @anon<number> or change the username to whatever you want.
No they do not, except for things that don't even seem to benefit anyone.
Republicans have been openly bragging about preventing the government from doing anything for decades. Specifically about Obama, they vowed to make him a one term president by preventing him from doing anything.
Since that time, the MAGA folk have taken over the party and edict #1 is to hate and obstruct and harm democrats, so anyone who has crossed the party line to get anything done, no matter how important, has been primaried out of the party.
It does seem like a lot of computational effort to achieve what F9 / Reader View does in FF.
