Show HN: Defuddle, an HTML-to-Markdown alternative to Readability (Score: 154+ in 6 hours)
Link: https://readhacker.news/s/6uW83
Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6uW83
Defuddle is an open-source JS library I built to parse and extract the main content and metadata from web pages. It can also return the content as Markdown.
I built Defuddle while working on Obsidian Web Clipper[1] (also MIT-licensed) because Mozilla's Readability[2] appears to be mostly abandoned, and didn't work well for many sites.
It's still very much a work in progress, but I thought I'd share it today, in light of the announcement that Mozilla is shutting down Pocket. This library could be helpful to anyone building a read-it-later app.
Defuddle is also available as a CLI:

Show HN: Display any CSV file as a searchable, filterable, pretty HTML table (Score: 150+ in 10 hours)
Link: https://readhacker.news/s/6uSZ6
Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6uSZ6
I combined this with a simple API to update a CSV file using Deno/deno-csv library, allowing an Ansible job to easily update a CSV file via the API with Ansible URI module, and then have that same CSV file viewable/downloadable in a simple and easy/dashboardy way (with CSV-to-html-table). Copilot created the Deno/deno-csv CSV API code and then with a little back and forth I added static website functionality (to serve the CSV table), and I had a /view and a /update route. I'm just a sysadmin but I love piecing together stuff like this. Thanks Derek!
Show HN: A web browser agent in your Chrome side panel (❄️ Score: 150+ in 3 days)

Hey HN,
I'm excited to share BrowserBee, a privacy-first AI assistant in your browser that allows you to run and automate tasks using your LLM of choice (currently supports Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, and Ollama). Short demo here: https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/209c7042-6d54-4fc...
Inspired by projects like Browser Use and Playwright MCP, its main advantage is the browser extension form factor which makes it more convenient for day to day use, especially for less technical users. Its also a bit less cumbersome to use on websites that require you to be logged in, as it attaches to the same browser instance you use (on privacy: the only data that leaves your browser is the communication with the LLM - there is no tracking or data collection of any sort).
Some of its core features are as follows:
- a memory feature which allows users to memorize common and useful pathways, making the next repetition of those tasks faster and cheaper
- real-time token counting and cost tracking (inspired by Cline)
- an approval flow for critical tasks such as posting content or making payments (also inspired by Cline)
- tab management allowing the agent to execute tasks across multiple tabs
- a range of browser tools for navigation, tab management, interactions, etc, which are broadly in line with Playwright MCP
I'm actively developing BrowserBee and would love to hear any thoughts, comments, or feedback.
