Regardless of the kind of news. I’m working on a TLDR bot and I’d like it to support the most used sites on Lemmy.

    Washington post added, Guardian was already there, NY Times requires an account and enabled JavaScript.

      Thanks for the response and swift action! At the risk of asking an exceedingly dumb question: would it be possible to make one for archive.org? That way we could have articles from almost any source.

            Oh I see, no, that’s sadly not possible to do universally, I have to evaluate the structure of each site to find the text content and archive basically copies the structure of the target website, meaning there’s no single structure for achive.org.

              That’s what I was afraid of. I was hoping the site itself would format the content in a way to make it possible. Thanks for the effort!

              Would it be possible to use the structure for the NYTimes on archive.org, as a way of bypassing the account and JavaScript requirements? Or am I misunderstanding how that would work
