Show HN: Reader Mode without the boring parts By boring I mean the text extraction that makes every website look the same and that sometimes fails. Arguably I've spent too many months on this detail, but in addition to the standard DOM iteration, Unclutter uses a CSSOM iteration, patching of mobile styles, CSS word blocklists, and crowdsourced element selectors. Plus an animation system to move text to its "uncluttered" position. Also interesting might be the article "library", a lightweight read-it-later list. It uses screenshots instead of titles & thumbnails, and drag & drop to move articles around. And there's an integration with Hacker News, where every top-level comment with an article quote in it automatically gets converted into an annotation. https://ift.tt/14sO82Z November 5, 2022 at 01:31AM
Show HN: StreetComplete, an OpenStreetMap Editor for Humans StreetComplete is an OpenStreetMap[0] editor directed at people who want to contribute and want to do this using their smartphone, without learning how to edit things[1]. It is available as an Android application. It is intended to be used as one walks, with quests appearing as markers on the map. Selecting a marker allows one to answer a simple question. The answer will be added to the OpenStreetMap database, with app handling selecting objects for editing, transforming answer into OSM tags and making edits. OpenStreetMap account is needed to apply edits, but it is possible to start without it, make some edits and login/register later.
