April 4, 2009 at 23:31Web page readability by Arc90
Behind such a clumsy word as Readability, lies a very elegant and quite effective development of the New York company Arc90 .
The guys did an extremely simple, but no less useful thing, namely: Readability - a bookmarklet (a small JavaScript program designed as a URL and saved as a browser bookmark) or, as they say, a bookmark on steroids that saves a web page from advertising junk and allows you to customize the text to your liking.
Often, in order to read the page normally, we have to press Print view. Now, it’s enough to configure your preferred text formatting once and add Readabilityto bookmarks. After that, just being on the page, click on the bookmark so that the contents of the page are magically transformed, so that even the rollicking udaff.com, it will be possible to read without attracting too much attention.
The creators themselves quite clearly explain the idea of their experiment. Despite the fact that the video is in English, it’s easy to understand.

It is clear that, like any experiment, development needs to be discussed and improved. Therefore, the authors suggest that we follow the further development of this and other laboratory projects through rss , as well as express our authoritative user opinion on the blog..
The code is open for developers .
To change this world for the better - in our power!
