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!

Hey HN, I made Browser-Use, an open-source tool that lets (all Langchain supported) LLMs execute tasks directly in the browser just with function calling. It allows you to build agents that interact with web elements using natural language prompts. We created a layer that simplifies website interaction for LLMs by extracting xPaths and interactive elements like buttons and input fields (and other fancy things). This enables you to design custom web automation and scraping functions without manual inspection through DevTools. Hasn't this been done a lot of times? Good question, as a general…

I recently saw a post from the Vercel CEO pointing out that LLMs understand websites much better when they can request: `Accept: text/markdown` Most websites today are built for humans. When AI agents try to consume them, they get complex HTML instead of clean, structured content. So I built *accept-md* – a simple open-source package for Next.js that helps solve this. Getting started is intentionally minimal: ``` npx accept-md init ``` After that, your existing Next.js routes can automatically respond with Markdown whenever an AI agent (or any client) requests it. No redesigns, no CMS…

display.dev▲183Last week's post from Thariq "The Unreasonable Effectiveness of HTML" went viral in X. He made a good point about HTML being the more expressive and human friendly alternative to markdown files. I completely buy in where he's coming from, I've been asking Claude Code to create me HTML files to better understand what we're planning and building together. What Thariq didn't address was the part of sharing and collaborating on these HTML artifacts (he proposed uploading to S3). While I've been heavy user of HTML artifacts to share quarterly plans, implementation specs, technical guides and…

Hey HN, In this age of agentic coding I've found myself spending a lot of time reviewing markdown files. Whether it's plans or documentation that I've asked my agent to generate for me, it seems that I spend more time reading markdown than code. I've tried a few different solutions to make it easier to read such as Obsidian however I've found their Vault system to be quite limiting for this use case and I've found TUI solutions to not quite be as friendly to read as I've wanted so I made Marky. Marky is a lightweight desktop application that makes it incredibly easy to read and track your…

TL;DR: I built a Chrome extension that copies webpage content or YouTube subtitles as clean, clutter-free Markdown with one click (or a shortcut). It even shows the token count, making it super handy for LLM prompts! Hi, HN! I often copy information from the web into my notes (Obsidian) or to feed context to LLMs for summaries/translations. So I built cpdown, a browser extension for this. cpdown lets you convert any webpage/youtube subtitle into clean Markdown and copy it to your clipboard with a single click (or a keyboard shortcut). Here are the key features: * Intelligent…

Hi HN, I'm new to Rust and, after half of `The Rust Programming Language` I decided to delve into a project I would actually use: a markdown to html compiler that actually serves my micro-blog (I started just right after publishing the project hehe). The project is intentionally small and one-file contained: I wanted to have the full picture in mind. I'm open to comments, suggestions and PRs. If you asked me more convincing arguments to "why did you do it?" rather than "to learn Rust" I would respond with: LLMs are effectively a new type of web users today and will be more and more present…

# What? Introducing mkdnsite ("markdown site") - an open source Markdown-native web server that serves HTML to humans and raw Markdown to agents. No build step required. Runs on Bun/Node/Deno, as an OS-specific standalone executable, or as a Docker container. Possibly the easiest way to go from Markdown files to functional website in the new agentic era. Features: - Runtime-only, zero build - Content negotiation means HTML for browsers and Markdown for agents - Supports GitHub-Flavored Markdown rendering - Mermaid diagrams, KaTeX math, embedded Chart.js charts, syntax highlighting…

TideSurf▲3Browser use agents tend to prefer the models' native multimodality over concrete source, and, even if they do, they still tend to take too much context to even barely function. I was running into this problem when using LLM Agents; Then I came up with an idea. What if I can just... send the rendered DOM to the agent, but with markdown-like compression? Turns out, it works! It reduces token consumption by thirty-two times on GitHub (vs. raw DOM), at least according to my experiments, while only taking ~30ms to parse. Also, it comes with 18 tools for LLMs to work interactively with pages, and…
