I built web tool for accessing just the (usually text) content of sites. It handles news sites best, thanks to Mozilla's fantastic Readability library. It also supports sites that use client-side rendering, using Puppeteer. Stripped pages are cached in Redis.
My main use-case for this tool is for extreme bandwidth-constrained networks, eg Meshtastic (with an internet gateway).

Nice. Have you considered if you took a step further to take the stripped down page content and format it for delivery via AI audio reader? Might be an interesting twist.

I often use a screen reader to help with dyslexia, and I think many screen readers will do this already. Though, the mess that index pages become with this tool might actually make it more difficult for them! I'll keep working on the strip logic, but it's quite a manual process at the moment.
