It would have more utility if in the search box you could type the RFC/BCP/STD number, e.g. "1591" or "STD 3".

Unfortunately every RFC I tried, except for the provided examples, returned "Could not prettify this RFC".

Cute, I like the way ASCII art is preserved.

Small bug: RFCs Eg: http://pretty-rfc.herokuapp.com/RFC123

redirects to: http://pretty-rfc.herokuapp.com/RFC0123 (left padding is probably a mistake here; some day we will have >9999 RFCs)

links to: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc0123/ (404)

should link to: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc123/

ps. XML format for RFCs that this leans on: http://pretty-rfc.herokuapp.com/RFC2629

When I search for "1483", my only result is 2684, which supersedes it. But when I try to view it, I'm told "The source XML for this RFC isn't available, therefore it can't be reformatted." Did the IETF shut you down?

I don't think the original documents on the IETF datatracker site are that bad- it seems pretty clean and easy to read already.

Same here.
