CLI tool to convert Markdown to rich HTML clipboard content
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.

In plain words
This command-line tool converts Markdown files to rich HTML and copies the result directly to the clipboard, streamlining the workflow for Teams users. Built with Rust, it eliminates the need to write in a text editor, preview in a browser, and manually copy content before pasting. Tested on Windows and Mac with expected Ubuntu support, it targets developers who write longer messages in Markdown and need quick clipboard integration, though the receiving application must support HTML clipboard content.

HTML-to-Markdown – convert entire websites to Markdown with Golang/CLI2024 · github.com · ▲360Hey 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!

We are longtime members of HN and this is our only submission requesting feedback from the HN community on our product, Clipboard which we have been developing for the past year. Clipboard is a service to save anything online using a bookmarklet or browser extension (think Dropbox for content on the web). Clipboard is built using open source technologies, including Riak, Redis, NGINX, Node.js, and jQuery. One of our core differentiators is how we preserve the visual look and functionality of the original source, which is evident in the sample clips from github here:…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
