WebShelf

WebShelf is a read-it-later service that saves your articles to your cloud storage (currently only Dropbox).

Features:

  1. Uses the well-known Readability-algorithm via readabilitySAX and therefore produces great articles.
  2. Articles are saved as single HTML5 files. All images are embeded into the file, thanks to the inline module, which was created for this project (during node knockout).
  3. Automatic archive of articles thanks to Dropbox.
  4. Command-line-enabled: Full-text-search is available via grep, you can view articles using a text-based browser and do with them whatever you like to do. Nothing prevents you from changing the files, as well as the stylesheet.
  5. Sharing just got even better: You don't need to send a link anymore that may lead to a dead end. Instead, you can send the whole HTML document.
  6. It respects robots.txt files, so you stop people from reading your articles (the user-agent is Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; readabilitySAX/1.5; +https://github.com/fb55/readabilitySAX).

Judging Instructions

Go to the website, login using Dropbox and follow the instructions :)

There is also an example page available at /example.html, which demonstrates what kind of article is produced by WebShelf

Note: Dropbox approved this app for Production status on Tuesday morning. Every login done before won't work anymore (as all keys have been revoked). Plus, I had to remove 4 accounts before that, as I only had been able to accept 5 users.

In case you're part of that group (not many should be), head over to /logout and login again after that.
