CLUSTER COMMAND-CONTENT-EXTRACTS · 11 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2022-03-23

Web content extraction tools

The cluster consists of command-line and web tools that extract the main readable content from web pages, often converting it to text or Markdown. The dated entries are sparse and irregular, with no clear trend across the years from 2019 to 2026. The top traction leaders—fetchit-aur, rdrview, and reader—all show zero stars, indicating minimal adoption.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
