- rzzzt 11y agoI recommend taking a look at XMLStarlet [1] (mentioned in the article as a dependency of the author's Bash library) -- it is a nice tool for manipulating XML content from the command line.

- bryanrasmussen 11y agoI'm wondering what the difference between this idea and instapaper is? (I don't use instapaper, but from what I've read about it I thought this is what it did?)
- fit2rule 11y agoI have a different approach, albeit much simpler: I print stuff to PDF that I want to read later, and keep a massive, growing PDF archive that I can search with normal tools, etc. Sure, it doesn't capture all the javascript goodness .. but for most of the stuff I want to read, having PDF offline is great. I'm sort of surprised its not a more common practice, to be honest ..

- crazoter 11y agoOne of my friends use Pocket (https://getpocket.com/ https://getpocket.com/) for this purpose. Firefox actually has Pocket built into the browser, which actually makes it rather convenient. I'm not sure if they have a note-taking/summary feature, though. I've never really used it because by the time I had found out about it, I had already built something similar in the form of a webapp using Parse.
