Most websites today are full of ads, links, pictures and stuff that distract you from their actual content you would like to read. That’s why I try to keep this blog as clean and minimalistic as possible. And that’s why there is a browser plugin called “Readability”.
Check out: lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability
just tried it, might come in handy … maybe also a good tool to test your (my) own articles for readability … to see whether they actually are interesting enough to stand out just as text, without the whole shabang around it…
Just found it for android! Someone created an app from the required javascript called “Readability” as well, that puts the bookmarklet into the default browser. I am still trying to get it to work with opera mini. Here is the bookmarklet (if you dont want to download the app):
javascript:(%28function%28%29%7Bwindow.baseUrl%3D%27https%3A//www.readability.com%27%3Bwindow.readabilityToken%3D%27%27%3Bvar%20s%3Ddocument.createElement%28%27script%27%29%3Bs.setAttribute%28%27type%27%2C%27text/javascript%27%29%3Bs.setAttribute%28%27charset%27%2C%27UTF-8%27%29%3Bs.setAttribute%28%27src%27%2CbaseUrl%2B%27/bookmarklet/read.js%27%29%3Bdocument.documentElement.appendChild%28s%29%3B%7D%29%28%29)
