Periodical turns cluttered webpages into clean, distraction-free articles
suitable for reading on an e-reader.

Project write up to follow.

I like this quite a bit. Thanks

This one sure pulls in quite a few dependencies, all over ruby, python2 and java (at least according to the name). I will report back once I went through the process.

Yeah, you're right. It's primarily Python based but pulls in Java for Boilerpipe
(the text extraction library) and Ruby for kindlerb, which I'm currently in the
process of porting to Python.
