I get the love letter to text thing, but this is almost too bare. Copy-pasting every URL makes it feel like an unfinished apartment.
I'm trying to understand the edge here. How is this different from using a crawler + LLM to fetch a page and extract the metrics? Is the main value coverage/reliability across sites?
This feels less like a broad market and more like a market structure that favors a small number of sophisticated participants.
What do you miss from the Desktop app that the CLI doesn’t cover? I’m mostly on Linux too and have just been using the CLI, so I’m curious.

Re:Show HN: AI-Powered PDF to Markdown Converter on Tuesday June 02, 2026 @11:19PM (#48379496)
Tried it with a PDF, but after upload I didn’t see any response or output. What kinds of PDFs does it handle best, and what’s the advantage over existing PDF-to-Markdown tools?

I like this direction. Seems hard to get right, though.
