Example with “The Rise And Fall Of The Dreamcast” (multiple pages): <a href="http://justread.mpgarate.com/read?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamasutra.com%2Fview%2Ffeature%2F132517%2Fthe_rise_and_fall_of_the_dreamcast.php" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;justread.mpgarate.com&#x2F;read?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamas...</a><p>Original: <a href="http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/132517/the_rise_and_fall_of_the_dreamcast.php" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gamasutra.com&#x2F;view&#x2F;feature&#x2F;132517&#x2F;the_rise_and_fa...</a><p>Awesome tool!

<a href="http://evernote.com/clearly/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;evernote.com&#x2F;clearly&#x2F;</a> I&#x27;ve been using this for years, now I can&#x27;t read an article without it.

To show of the functionality for first time page landers you should pre-populate with a popular article url. I had to open a new tab and find an article to test. I almost didn&#x27;t come back. Almost, but glad I did!

What&#x27;s the difference between this and something like Instapaper or the iReader plugin ([1])?<p>[1]: <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ireader/ppelffpjgkifjfgnbaaldcehkpajlmbc" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chrome.google.com&#x2F;webstore&#x2F;detail&#x2F;ireader&#x2F;ppelffpjgk...</a>

Useful for articles that have sluggish javascript behavior, span multiple pages, or are otherwise hard to read.<p>Example use with a TechCrunch article: <a href="http://justread.mpgarate.com/read?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftechcrunch.com%2F2014%2F07%2F26%2Fthe-first-trillion-dollar-startup%2F" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;justread.mpgarate.com&#x2F;read?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftechcrunc...</a><p>Also works well as a bookmarklet:<p>javascript:window.location.replace(&quot;<a href="http://justread.mpgarate.com/read?url=&quot;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;justread.mpgarate.com&#x2F;read?url=&quot;</a> + escape(document.URL))

Pentadactyl command to do this with the currently open page:<p><pre><code> :command! justread execute &#x27;open justread.mpgarate.com&#x2F;read?url=&#x27; + buffer.URL</code></pre>

<a href="http://justread.mpgarate.com/read?url=news.ycombinator.com%2Fnews" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;justread.mpgarate.com&#x2F;read?url=news.ycombinator.com%2...</a><p>see also readability.<p>but what I really want is a <i>low bandwidth</i> version of a webpage, to conserve my mobile data plan.

what is different about this than the original arc90 readability algorithm with an URL field added to kick off the processing?

By the way, does anybody here know of an algorithm (and&#x2F;or already implemented open-source library&#x2F;app) that copes well with auto-extracting content from <i>forum-like</i> websites? (i.e. phpBB, StackOverflow, HN, reddit, ...)

Don&#x27;t spose you&#x27;re putting the source up anywhere?<p>Knowing my luck I&#x27;d get used to reading with this, then you&#x27;d disappear off the internet forever. It&#x27;d be nice to be able to self-host.

At first I thought by minimal, you meant summarized&#x2F;shortened. Perhaps use an additional words to describe what you mean.<p>Other than that- looks good.

Care to share the details of the html parser? is it one of arc90&#x2F;goose&#x2F;boilerpipe&#x2F;fivefilters or a new engine?

Would like to see as a browser extension, one button click to view the page in a readable format. Great work.
wehadfunover 10 years ago
this is great would like it even more if it remove all images and displayed text in a boring font.

You&#x27;re not concerned about the copyright issues related to this?
