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: hcker.news – an ergonomic, timeline-based Hacker News front page (Score: 150+ in 13 hours)
Link: https://readhacker.news/s/6uYDT
Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6uYDT
Hi folks,
I've built an alternative Hacker News front page. It is inspired by and meant to be a replacement for hckrnews.com.
I built this because HN is woefully underfeatured, but most sites that try to improve it seem to assume that the visual design is the problem. hcker.news tries to maintain HN's familiarity while adding useful enhancements.
There are three primary views:
- Timeline View: Browse top stories by votes or comments grouped by day, week, or month (e.g., top 20 per day, top 100 per week).
- Aggregate View: See top stories by votes or comments over custom time ranges.
- Front Page View: The original HN front page, untouched.
- Kagi Small Web: View only stories from websites that are a part of Kagi's Small Web, which is a curated list of non-commercial blogs
- Custom Keyword Filters: Include/exclude keywords (e.g., include "Rust," exclude "DOGE") or set a minimum score threshold.
- No HN Algorithm: Timeline and Aggregate Views show stories usually downranked by the HN algo (e.g., flagged posts or those with too many comments).
- Unread Flags: Quickly spot new stories or ones you haven't seen.
- Two Layouts: Classic HN style or a compact story view inspired by hckrnews.com.
- Multi-column & High-density Modes: Fit more content on screen.
- Themes: Light, Dark, and Manila.
