reader is for your command line what the “readability” view is for modern browsers: A lightweight tool offering better readability of web pages on the CLI.

reader parses a web page (or an EML file) for its actual content and displays it in nicely highlighted text on the command line. In addition, reader renders embedded images from that page as colored block-renders on the terminal as well.

Installation

go install xn--gckvb8fzb.com/reader@latest

If the above fails, then the following should work:

git clone https://tty.fail/mrus/reader.git
cd reader
go install

Usage
