This tool and its webpage are under construction.

Best possible option if you want to see what it will eventually do is to run a cli tool such as to epub:

```shell
go run cmd/toEpub/*.go https://whateverpageyouwanttoread/
```

This utility takes optional `-H` arguments to pass headers to the http downloader.
This option can be used several times to be compatible with the curl command.

ex:

```shell
 toEpub -H 'sec-ch-ua: "Chromium";v="94", "Google Chrome";v="94", ";Not A Brand";v="99"' \
  -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/94.0.4606.81 Safari/537.36' \
  -H 'sec-ch-ua-platform: "macOS"'  https://thewebsite/thepage.html
```

I wrote some explanation of the concept in a [blog post](https://blog.owulveryck.info/2021/10/07/reading-from-the-web-offline-and-distraction-free.html)

## Hacktoberfest

This is a toy project, but I am more and more relying on it. I think that hacktoberfest is a good opportunity to turn this project into a product.
I will write a contributing guide soon; meanwhile if you want to participate the urgent matters are:

- Writing a proper vision: discussing it into an issue and submitting a PR to mention in in the README
- Writing autonomous end-to-end tests: grabbing a sample page, running an `httptest` server, running a toEpub code and analysing the result
- Writing a proper documentation
- Adding a contribution guide
- sky is the limit, discuss in issues and submit PR once issues are discussed :D

## Features

The internal libraries (used by the CLI) are implemeting those features:

- Webpage fetching and pre-processing
  - preprocessing and sanitization of figures to fetch the correct image from responsive and/or javascript tags (Medium and Toward datascience)
  - experimental feature to turn LaTeX figures into pictures ([github.com/go-latex/latex](https://github.com/go-latex/latex))
  - extraction of the content based on the ARC90 readility project ([github.com/cixtor/readability](https://github.com/cixtor/readability))
- Opengraph processing to extract meta informations ([github.com/dyatlov/go-opengraph](https://github.com/dyatlov/go-opengraph))
  - Generation of a cover picture with the front image of the website, the title and the author of the artible
  - Generation of a first chapter with meta data such as the publication date
- epub generation ([github.com/bmaupin/go-epub](https://github.com/bmaupin/go-epub))
- experimental getpocket integration
  - reading the article lists and generating epubs from the list
  - a daemon mode that will eventually runs on a ereader device to sync the list (heavy WIP)

## Configurations

Those configuration may influence various internal libraries.

| KEY                             | TYPE        | DEFAULT    | REQUIRED    | DESCRIPTION    |
|---------------------------------|-------------|------------|-------------|----------------|
| DOWNLOADER_LIVENESS_CHECK       | Duration    | 5m         | true        |                |
| DOWNLOADER_PROBE_TIMEOUT        | Duration    | 60m        | true        |                |
| DOWNLOADER_HTTP_TIMEOUT         | Duration    | 10s        | true        |                |
| DOWNLOADER_TRANSPORT_TIMEOUT    | Duration    | 5s         | true        |                |

Those configuration are used for cli using the pocket integration

| POCKET_USERNAME            | String      |                                 |             | The pocket username (will try to fetch it if not found)            |
