plug I'm doing something very similar, with the exception that I do all the processing on the server side. For example, you can link to the text of this article like this:
http://viewtext.org/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.readshout.com%2Fquickread http://viewtext.org/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.readshout.com%2Fqu...
I'm making this so other sites can provide links to ViewText on their pages, similar to how I'm using it on http://ihackernews.com http://ihackernews.com. It's great for mobile phones. It also handles RSS feeds -- putting the full text of the article in the RSS feed.
In addition, it rewrites links back through the reader, caches pages in the event that they go down, and a couple of other things...
BTW, nice work jamesjyu.
- tectonic 16y agoWhat did you implement your Readability algorithm in?
- ronnier 16y agoC#, yes... probably not so popular around here :)
- ritonlajoie 16y agoI use viewtext and ihackernews everyday on my iphone. That's great to browse HN and the web. Thanks ronnier for your great work !
- ronnier 16y agoThanks, I'm glad it is worthy of being used :D
