Reader

Overview

readerreader is an innovative command line tool designed to enhance the readability of web content, much like the "readability" view found in modern web browsers. It processes web pages or EML files, isolating crucial content and presenting it in a clean, highlighted format directly on the terminal. This tool not only improves text readability by filtering out distractions but also adds a visual element by rendering embedded images as colorful block-graphics, making your command line experience richer.

For anyone who frequently navigates the web through the command line, readerreader provides a convenient way to access and visualize information without the usual clutter. It captures the essence of a webpage and translates it into a format that's easy to read and aesthetically pleasing in a terminal environment.
