🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so unmerdify is literally an unenshittificator for the web 💅 It filters out the noise from web pages so the reader can focus on the content and only the content. the vibe check is: no ads, no clutter, just words. periodt.

This implementation is shipped as part of offpunk(1), the Gemini browser 👑

🎀 Positional arguments

• ftr_site_config — the path to the https://github.com/fivefilters/ftr-site-config directory, or a path to a config file. either way, that's where the site rules live 🗂️
• FILE — files to read. if it's empty, stdin is used 🫶 (yes, you can pipe into it, main character energy)

✨ Keyword arguments

• -h, --help — show a help message and exit. the classic "help me bestie" move 🙈
• -u, --url URL — the url you want to unmerdify 🔗
• -l, --loglevel LEVEL — set the log level. LEVEL can be any of: CRITICAL, FATAL, ERROR, WARN, WARNING, INFO, DEBUG, or NOTSET. pick your chatty level, from silent treatment to full oversharing 💬

💀 EXIT STATUS 💀

The unmerdify utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
