Use with qutebrowser and pipes

[danlkv]

Hello

How can I use uniread to read webpages from qutebrowser? Maybe it would be possible if I extract text from qutebrowser webpage, then pipe it into stdin of uniread?

As an qutebrowser user, I have to say this sounds interesting.

If you are ok with some dependencies,maybe you could do something like saving html, converting it to pdf and opening pdf.

Honestly I am not sure how handoff from piped file to real stdin works, so, I am not sure how I would make file pipe and controlls work at the same time. Will have to look into this

Or we could do something like this in JS:

document.body.innerText

from qutebrowser userscript, write optput to the file, and open file with uniread

It would be better to use readabilty instead of just innerText , like in this script: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/blob/master/misc/userscripts/readability
I think the usage can be following:
$ get_current_text.py | uniread
where get_current_text.py

1. gets last active qutebrowser page
2. extracts text using readability
3. prints it

Reading input till EOF should work, is it easy to implement in uniread? Having ability to read streams without end would also be nice, but I can't think of any usecases for this.
I don't like saving a temporary file and than reading it, because of need to create some temp dirs, and dealing with permissions...
