To keep analyzing pdfs, some tools are qpdf, pdfalyzer, strings. If you just want to get text out of PDFs, check out marker - https://github.com/datalab-to/marker . I'm also interested in any weird edge cases anyone else has found - let me know!

@rohanpaul_ai @vixhal have you tried qutebrowser?? It has vim like controls, and it's super lightweight.@surajpathakcs Low-key websites I quietly rely on 1) http://roadmap.sh Gives you a brutally clear learning path for roles like frontend, backend, DevOps, etc No fluff, just “learn this → then this → then this”. 2) http://playcode.io An online playground to quickly test HTML, CSS, JS without setting up anything locally Perfect for quick experiments and debugging ideas 3) http://usehooks.com A collection of reusable React hooks with real use cases Saves time and helps you avoid rewriting the same logic again and again 4) http://devhints.io Concise cheat sheets for languages, frameworks, and tools. Ideal when you forget syntax and don’t want to read a 20-minute blog 5) http://jsoncrack.com Turns messy JSON into a clean visual tree Makes understanding large APIs and configs way easier than staring at raw text 6) http://realtimecolors.com Lets you generate and preview color palettes instantly Useful when you want decent UI colors without guessing or copying blindly 7) http://regex101.com Build, test, and debug regex step by step with explanations Honestly, the fastest way to stop hating regex 8) http://bundlephobia.com Shows how big an npm package really is before you install it Helps you avoid bloating your app with “tiny” libraries 9) http://caniuse.com Tells you which CSS/JS features actually work across browsers Essential before using shiny new features in production 10) http://toolbox.googleapps.com Google’s own diagnostics tools for DNS, email, headers, and network issues Surprisingly useful for debugging real-world problems 👉 Which one of these do you already use and which one did you not know existed?@shekhu04

@tom_doerr I built http://markdown.new Put http://markdown.new/ before any URL → get clean Markdown back. Cloudflare's Markdown for Agents is great, but only works for enabled sites. http://markdown.new works for ANY website on the internet. 80% fewer tokens. Also converts PDFs, images, audio. Free. No signup. http://markdown.new@elbeyoglu
