Useful for articles that have sluggish javascript behavior, span multiple pages, or are otherwise hard to read. Example use with a TechCrunch article: http://justread.mpgarate.com/read?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftechcrunc... Also works well as a bookmarklet: javascript:window.location.replace(" http://justread.mpgarate.com/read?url=" + escape(document.URL))
By the way, does anybody here know of an algorithm (and/or already implemented open-source library/app) that copes well with auto-extracting content from forum-like websites? (i.e. phpBB, StackOverflow, HN, reddit, ...)
Apologies for blowing my own horn but I've had some luck filtering HN and reddit with this project I built (I used to have an example in progress online but i've taken it down): https://github.com/kennethrapp/embedbug
package it with http://squirt.io/ and suddenly we can read everything

Umm... anything that uses xpaths should work I would think. Apologies for blowing my own horn but I've had some luck filtering HN and reddit with this project I built (I used to have an example in progress online but i've taken it down): https://github.com/kennethrapp/embedbug

The point is I want some heuristic that would work "automagically" (like Readability, etc), not requiring me to invent a tailor-made xpath for each and every such website in the world.
If there is such a thing I'd be interested to learn about it myself. TBH "tailor make an xpath for every site" is the best solution i'm aware of.
see also readability.
but what I really want is a low bandwidth version of a webpage, to conserve my mobile data plan.
Other than that- looks good.

It has a default extractor, and site-specific recipes use the same format as Instapaper, so you can leverage the work Marco has done on different sites.
