What does it use under the covers to convert the html to markdown? Some pre-existing library or rolls its own? Is there LLM assistance at all?

@gunnarniels The pipeline is basically: rendered DOM → Readability extraction → Turndown → Markdown
No LLM involved at all.. everything runs locally in the browser
@adem_kouki Love it
This is super practical — I've been manually copying and cleaning up web content for my LLM workflows, and it's always a pain dealing with ads, navbars, and random HTML artifacts. Having a one-click 'convert to clean Markdown' is exactly the kind of utility tool that saves cumulative hours. The open-source angle is great too. Does it handle pages with heavy JavaScript rendering well, like SPAs or dynamically loaded content?

@new_user___093202624e1848eb9b9896f Really appreciate that.. that’s exactly the pain I had too
For JS-heavy pages: it works as long as the content is already visible on the page when you click. So most sites are fine.. For heavy SPAs or lazy-loaded stuff, you might need to scroll or wait a bit first
Can this be done programmatically? Is there a library that can convert webpages to Markdown so it can be used by agents?

@koushikg Yes, you can use the Turndown library
