Made something similar a while back Kindle-send[0] to send blogs to my Kindle. It also uses readability under the hood.
Now I use it to send blogs, books and sometimes send whole archives of a website (you can use it in scripts).
You can export Kindle highlights to Obsidian, so one benefit of making these epubs is how you accumulate the highlights at one place.
Although, name is kindle-send but it can send to any ereader that uses email as a mechanism to send books.

This covers a lot of ground, but I don't know if lessons can be ported due to difference in footprint.
Ask HN: Will bionic-reading crush my project if I use it?
Hi, a while ago I created this project called [kindle-send](github.com/nikhil1raghav/kindle-send) which can send webpages and other docs as epubs to your ereader.I saw [bionic-reading](https://bionic-reading.com) on HN. I understand it is pretty easy to replicate by making ceil(len/2) letters bold. That's why they filed for a patent.Now I want to add a flag in my project which will do the same...

Ask HN: Is there a vfx artists react equivalent for Software development?
Corridor crew is a youtube channel which has a segment VFX artists react where they host guests/veterans from industry and then react to VFX shots and deconstruct how it would have been created or could have been done better. It is great to watch.Is there something like this for software developers? Or maybe Computer Science?

Use go-readability to remove noise from webpage --> Download all the images and change their refs to point to local images --> Add the content to epub structure created using go-epub
Re:Show HN: Kindle-send – CLI to send webpages and files to Kindle
on Monday September 05, 2022 @11:35PM (#32732509)
Hi, earlier I created it as a wrapper using calibre and percollate. It was not portable at all.
This weekend, re-wrote it in golang to use go-readability for converting HTML to readable content and then build epub from there.
Now, binary can be used directly without worrying about extra dependencies.
Name is kindle-send but it is just pushing epubs via email. So shouldn't be a problem if you're using a different reader that supports receiving ebooks via email.

I read lot of blogs, made something similar [0] a while ago.
Write now installing it is painful, if you don't have calibre or node js installed.
Re-writing it all in nodejs, so that installation is easier. Calibre is not needed now, as amazon started converting epubs to azw3.

Re:Ask HN: Is Substack worth the hassle in 2022?
on Sunday January 09, 2022 @09:55AM (#29863719)
I use substack for sharing links in form of newsletter. I like the platform, it is simple, does one thing well, has a full content RSS feed, editor could use markdown support. Buttondown is better, but I'm currently not planning on paying anything for a while so not switching.
As a reader, I like how I can find relevant blogs to read without subscribing and no doubt it is better than medium in every aspect.

True, there is no point in accumulating feeds. News sites are the worst when it comes to this, personal blogs don't grow that fast.

I don't know if it is just me who finds such lists overwhelming. They bombard on you like hundreds of resources.
FOMO kicks in and I star them for false sense of effectiveness but hardly end up completing anything or even starting.
