A very simple thing that I've been reporting to Instapaper for multiple times over a year now is fixing the GitHub support. I often save a lot of pages from GitHub to Instapaper (such as https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/docs/userguide/storagedriver/zfs-driver.md https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/docs/userguide/...) and it only saves the repository root link, so I usually end up losing that link entirely and it's pretty annoying.
I'm not sure how this article is supposed to make a paying user happy, it doesn't show any measurable metrics (neither any user should actually care about that, it should just work). I still wonder how hard adding a simple "if github then" check is.
- bambax 11y agoThe GitHub page, when copy-and-pasted on http://markitdown.medusis.com http://markitdown.medusis.com renders okay. MarkItDown is a "toy" implementation of a rich-text to markdown converter, that I wrote 3 years ago and still enjoys significant usage. Maybe it could be used as a start for a more full-featured parser.
- alpb 11y agoI am not talking about a content parsing problem. Because of some stupid canonical URL header GitHub serves, Instapaper is constantly saving redacting the URL path to the repo level and they haven't been fixing it since forever.
