mozilla-readability-read

This is a Node.js (io.js) app that uses the Mozilla Readability code to parse pages and display those pages in an iframe. It's useful for testing out how a page will render on the Desktop Reader View.

Setup

  npm install

Run

  npm start

Update the Readability.js

This gulp command downloads the Readability.js file from the mozilla repo and concatenates it with a local Readability-node.js. We do this because the original file expects a global Node object and doesn't export itself as a module like the Node.js world expects.

  gulp readability

The real way to fix this area of the code is to turn the Readability.js file into a npm module.

Update the Readability CSS (aboutReader.css)

This gulp command downloads the aboutReader.css file from the mozilla mxr and drops it into the public directory.
