If lurnby could access the current DOM in the current browser tab via the browser addon and extract the content via readability.js, I am willing to be a paying customer. I believe this is technically possible.
https://getpolarized.io/ seems like it's in the same space - it's a product I wanted to love, but was a bit clunky to use and didn't end up sticking in my workflow.
Would love to know what about the flow was clunky and why it didn't fit your workflow. Might be a lot that I can learn from that.

Nice. Tip: format it as a shell code block on markdown Also eval adding a Dockerfile for super-rapid deploy
Thanks. I'll probably look into a dockerfile option. Does format as a shell code block mean write it in a way that it can just be copied and pasted easily?
IIRC you can do that by gating code like this:
'''
code goes here
'''
(The spaces are necessary for HN markup, but not the markdown formatting).
I'm working on a similar project for a similar concept that involves spacing reading material called Incremental Reading[1] so it was a pleasant surprise seeing your project, great work. For exporting to Anki, I suggest you look at Anki-Connect[2] if you haven't already. [1]: http://super-memory.com/help/read.htm [2]: https://foosoft.net/projects/anki-connect/
Do you use Supermemo or Anki? Is your project related to the Incremental Reading Anki plugin? https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/935264945
My project is not related to the Incremental Reading Anki plugin.

sweeet. Thank you! Will look at those. And I'm really happy that this whole space is finally getting attention.

I have been using Anki for the past 6 months (2021-Jul, present), before that I used SuperMemo for 9 months before that (2020-Oct, 2021-Jul), the reasons I switched to Anki are plenty (Linux/MathJax support being the top ones). My project is not related to the Incremental Reading Anki plugin.
Hah, i am working on a near identical app. How did you deal with pulling content from the web without reinventing wheels? I was thinking about reusing an existing store of scraping instructions, InstantView by Telegram (iirc that's the name). Looks fairly straight forward to write a parser for that spec. However, i wanted to be able to store some in a repo on my own as well, but i fear DMCA strikes on a repo that sto…
If you don't mind me asking, how were you going to implement spaced repetition? Since the Incremental Reading algorithm has never been published as far as I know.
I installed the firefox addon, and was hoping that it can deal with paywalled content. It seems to me that lurnby is accessing the content from the server side and got nothing. If lurnby could access the current DOM in the current browser tab via the browser addon and extract the content via readability.js, I am willing to be a paying customer. I believe this is technically possible.
Alternatively, I also email things to the app - the subject becomes the title, the body becomes the article.
But yeah, considering that the goal is to reduce friction, the manual work isn't ideal, but it gets the job done.
I'll try to take a look at what's possible with getting the current dom.
