Snitchmd – Cloudflare-protected URLs into clean Markdown via Docker
Shmauthor here. Built this for myself, putting it out in case it's useful. Needed any URL as clean Markdown for LLM context — including Cloudflare/anti-bot sites. curl gets HTTP 403 on those, raw HTML is 80%+ nav noise eating context, paid SaaS (Firecrawl, Jina) wasn't an option for me. It's a Docker wrapper around two existing OSS tools — CloakBrowser (stealth Chromium that passes Cloudflare) and rs-trafilatura (HTML → Markdown). No new scraper, just glue. Runs locally, my URLs stay on my box Token reduction (raw curl HTML vs snitchmd, tiktoken cl100k_base): -…

Snitch any URL as Markdown. Even Cloudflare/anti-bot protected. Ready for LLM. snitchmd is a Docker wrapper around CloakBrowser and rs-trafilatura that turns any URL into clean Markdown, bypassing anti-bot protection. snitchmd https://example.com That's the whole job. Markdown to stdout, ready to paste into a prompt, a note, or a RAG pipeline. Under the hood, snitchmd chains two existing projects so you don't have to: CloakBrowser renders the page past anti-bot checks, and rs-trafilatura strips it down to readable Markdown. It's a small Docker wrapper — no new scraper, no new engine. Disclaimer: via CloakBrowser , snitchmd looks like a real browser — Cloudflare and other detectors don't…from github.com

Stop AI scrapers from hammering your self-hosted blog (using porn)Dec 2025 · github.com · ▲373Alright so if you run a self-hosted blog, you've probably noticed AI companies scraping it for training data. And not just a little (RIP to your server bill). There isn't much you can do about it without cloudflare. These companies ignore robots.txt, and you're competing with teams with more resources than you. It's you vs the MJs of programming, you're not going to win. But there is a solution. Now I'm not going to say it's a great solution...but a solution is a solution. If your website contains content that will trigger their scraper's safeguards, it will get dropped from their data…

Supports HTTP/2, async/await, and works with Cloudflare-protected sites. Not trying to compete with curl_cffi - just a learning project that turned into something functional.

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
