actually I don't know what will happen.


UPDATE: It's my mistake... The FAQ on the MVP page was generated using Gemini, and I didn't review it carefully. I've now updated the FAQ.


Hi HN,

I wanted to share a free online tool I created to let everyone easily test Microsoft's new open-source project, MarkItdown. It enables rapid conversion of different file formats and web pages into clean Markdown text. It's surprisingly fast and versatile.

Give it a try here: https://markitdown.pro/

Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome!

How does it run a Python library entirely browser side? Just curious.

(Given the faff of setting up a Python environment, this is a great idea.)


It doesn't. It seems to send a POST request to an API endpoint to do the processing (in direct contradiction with their FAQ section)


Now you make me wonder if I could run this entirely inside pyscript


Magnific's recently released Relight feature is really cool, but it's a bit pricey for non-professional creators. So, I made an alternative:

https://relightai.co/

It's still in beta, and there are quite a few small issues I'm still working on fixing. I'd love for you all to give it a try and let me know if you have any suggestions!


I'm not sure yet, but I might consider it in the future


I'm very glad you like this idea. I think we should continue to add more website meta information in the future, such as WHOIS data and SimilarWeb traffic, but I'm not sure if everyone needs this.


I don't. I just need the AI summary-of-a-website service as an API that I can call.


I completely agree, web design is very challenging for me. I am trying to create a better hero image...


I am working to fix them. Thank you very much for trying it out.


we've all been there, go get 'em


Yes, today is the first day of testing for SiteProfile. I have seen the issues everyone is encountering in the logs, and I will fix them as soon as possible. Thank you very much for trying it out.


BuildWith's goal is to tell you what technologies a website is built with. SiteProfile's goal is to provide you with the meta information of a website. Just like getting to know a person, I created a profile for websites, including images, social media links, and other information so you can quickly understand the site.


Great, I could see that now. Thank you.
