This is cool! I have a HN pipeline where I upvote things that I want to drill into, and a script I wrote generates PDFs and sends to my Kindle for offline reading (great for my pipeline). That uses Playwright's "to PDF" method which is over the browser and slow. I might look into replacing with this.
If there's any interest I might OSS the pipeline
- Jun8 3y agoThis sounds like an excellent idea!
- unfamiliar 3y agoPDF sounds like a terrible format for reading on the kindle, why not MOBI or epub or whatever it uses?
- majora2007 3y agoI was thinking the same thing. Why wouldn't this project convert to epub which is easier to pack and much easier to read?
- worldsayshi 3y agoI wonder if Pandoc could do this well. Edit: Ah, there was a thread(1) with related examples further down. And Pandoc can indeed do epub output. 1 - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39268147 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39268147
