Thanks, but I want more work, and it's hard to get low-level jobs remotely. I wouldn't mind working on web development or whatever, but I have no experience there, so it's only natural to ask for less money.

> Now, it would be great if there was a way to pipe the html from a webpage into another tool from inside lynx. For future reference, it appears that this can be done with elinks.

By the way, in case anyone is wondering, I've been told that rdrview can be built on OpenBSD as well [1]. I intend to add support for the BSDs soon. [1] https://old.reddit.com/r/commandline/comments/jaluz

I didn't; I guess I could let the user pick an agent. You think that would help with GDPR? So far, I've never run into this problem myself. If I did, I think I would use tor.

The core of my code is a line by line translation of the Firefox version. I know what it does, but not the exact motivation for everything, so it has many hidden tricks I never noticed. I'm not in Europe and I never tested this, but it

I would like that too. You could even extract the menus from the webpage and display them in a "native" way. The big problem is that most websites will never cooperate with this, so it will always be a hack.

Interesting. Frankly, I didn't put much thought into the choice myself. I picked the Mozilla version because I use it on Firefox every day and it seems to work fine.

I use it with newsboat myself, but I didn't know about the filters. I should really look into that. I was just setting the BROWSER environment variable to a script that makes me choose if I want to open the article on rdrview (with lyn

Maybe, if you don't mind Node and all the dependencies. Not everybody is willing or able to put up with that, particularly when it comes to small "unix tools".

Rdrview doesn't actually use Firefox internally, it's just a rewrite of the Readability.js library.

I've seen this problem with Fedora, the default mailcap settings are not sane. On Debian it worked fine by default. If you don't want to edit your mailcap, you can use the -B flag to pick a browser, like the sibling comment said.

I use lynx for RSS. Most websites do work, but I find it annoying to have to scroll past all the menus and forms, which are sometimes several pages in the terminal. Rdrview doesn't replace lynx, it just removes the clutter before you o

I haven't looked too deeply into the lynx codebase, but it might be tricky to do this without extra dependencies. Lynx already parses html obviously, but I don't know if it ever needs to make modifications to it. Now, it would be

The motivation for rdrview is cleaning up all the menus and clutter from the dump. It still uses lynx (or any other text browser) for the render.

Hi, I'm the developer of rdrview. I posted the project as a "Show HN" a week ago or so but it got no traction, so I'm really surprised to find it on the front page today. I'll be happy to answer any questions you ma

I read RSS from the terminal. I don't like having to open a full browser to read an article, but using lynx can be unpleasant because you need to scroll past many pages of menus and other clutter. So I made this to clean up the article

That won't help: donations to Mozilla don't go to the development of Firefox.
