Show HN: Cpdown – Copy any webpage/YouTube subtitle as clean Markdown(LLM-ready)

TL;DR: I built a Chrome extension that copies webpage content or YouTube subtitles as clean, clutter-free Markdown with one click (or a shortcut). It even shows the token count, making it super handy for LLM prompts! Hi, HN!

I often copy information from the web into my notes (Obsidian) or to feed context to LLMs for summaries/translations. So I built cpdown, a browser extension for this.

cpdown lets you convert any webpage/youtube subtitle into clean Markdown and copy it to your clipboa

 The iPhone 17 Air may have a small battery, but l don't think you'll need to worry

The so-called iPhone 17 Air has been tipped to spot a 2,800mAh battery, which is oddly small for a potential 2025 flagship phone. But I don't think that’s cause for concern.

Show HN: Lstr – A modern, interactive tree command written in Rust

Hi HN,

(First time poster!)

I'm the author of `lstr`. I've always loved the classic Linux `tree` command for its simplicity, but I often found myself wanting more modern features like interactivity and Git integration. So, I decided to build my own version in Rust with a philosophy of being fast, minimalist, and interactive. It was also an excuse to help learn more about Rust\!

Here's a quick look at the interactive mode:

Koronaviry z příbuzenstva MERS jsou jedinou mutaci od pandemie

Koronaviry ze skupiny merbekovirů, tedy kromě zabijáckého MERS-CoV, obvykle nepovažujeme za bezprostřední riziko. Neohrožení virologové zjistili, že u starosvětských merbekovirů skupiny HKU5, schází k pandemii mezi lidmi možná jen krůček. Je to hrozba, které stojí za pečlivý monitoring netopýrů. Co kdyby se z toho vyloupl dáreček s úmrtností jako MERS? http://www.osel.cz/14120-koronaviry-z-pribuzenstva-mers-jsou-jedinou-mutaci-od-pandemie.html

Dámón o proměnách společnosti a kultury

„Nikde se totiž charakter hudby nemění beze změn nejdůležitějších politických zákonů obce.“ Dámonova zvláštní úvaha teď bude spíše záminkou k dalším. Co teprve změna kulturních drog a změny v definici pohlaví! Půjde o pokusný „krok stranou“, abychom získali nadhled nad lecčím, co nás občas pálí příliš, takže snadno sdílíme neuvážené „názory“. Dá se od filosofie čekat pomoc? http://www.osel.cz/14119-damon-o-promenach-spolecnosti-a-kultury.html
