I made a tool to clean and convert any webpage to Markdown
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
I made a tool to clean and convert any webpage to Markdown launched on April 14, 2024 with 441 votes, #76 of 4,347 launches that month and more than 99% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.
In plain words
This tool scrapes webpages and converts them to clean Markdown format, designed to automate the process of republishing content across platforms. It extracts content from any webpage, removes unnecessary elements, and outputs formatted text ready for blogs or other publishing systems. Users can further refine the output by instructing AI to make edits. It's built for content creators and publishers who need to repurpose web content efficiently.

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!
