I strip away all the bells and whistles, keep the main text, fix the img and a links with absolute links, and apply minimum styling.
I also cached all the results and built a full text search index with it.
- adamgordonbell 5y agoI was thinking about how if I served in html I could include links and such, but I do like the aesthetics of plain text. It makes me feel like I'm reading a text file on some BBS or something. But what you've built is very cool.
- derekzhouzhen 5y agoI hear you; however, changing random broken html found on the web into a readable piece of plain text is not that easy. Think about old school layout done with tables, source code listing, link farms, etc. Dumb down the html is actually easier.
