Hey HN! I originally built “html-to-markdown” back in 2018 (while still in high school) to handle complex HTML conversions where other libraries struggled. Now, I’ve released v2 — a complete rewrite designed to handle even more edge cases. It supports entire websites with a high accuracy. Example use: I’ve used it in my RSS reader to strip HTML down to clean Markdown, similar to the "Reader Mode" in your Browser. It can be used as a Golang package or as an CLI. Give it a try & tell me what edge cases you encounter!

My partner usually writes substack posts which I then mirror to our website’s blog section. To automate this, I made a simple tool to scrape the post and clean it so that I can drop it to our blog easily. This might be useful to others as well. Oh and ofcourse you can instruct GPT to make any final edits :D

At work I need to use Teams. It supports a few Markdown features, but the editing experience for long message isn't smooth. So, I often write in nvim, preview it in the browser and then copy paste to Teams. This tool help me get rid of the review and copy step. Build with Rust + Claude Code. Tested on Windows and Mac, should works on Ubuntu as well. Caveats: it's still up to the pasted app to handle the HTML clipboard content.
