I didn't know. I thought it was based on Arc90's original code from 2010, but I imagined that was js.
I initially was using the python port by ReadabiliPy, but it wasn't working as well as the js code in most of my tests, so I just switched.
But yeah, open to exploring different options to make it less complex.
- Vivtek 5y agoHuh, you are correct. I guess a better way to put this is "the original Readability I encountered was in Python"! The first version I saw was in Aaron Swartz's 2012 read2text tool, but a check of the URL I found that through says, yup, it's a Python port of Arc90's original code, which was a browser extension. And you're right. It was in JavaScript. I finally tracked a copy down (the original is long evaporated): https://github.com/masukomi/arc90-readability/blob/master/js/readability.js https://github.com/masukomi/arc90-readability/blob/master/js...
