Post Description

It's not perfect, but it works for my needs. Hopefully it will be useful to someone else.

I was using a terminal based LLM to help me create some tickets for an upcoming sprint. Pasting directly into the ticket system provided a poor looking result. So I created TermToMD.

If you try it out, there is a gear button that will let you customize the results. Also the icon on the left will let you toggle dark mode and it has a quick markdown cheat sheet.

Klovr – Convert any webpage to Markdown (Cloudflare covers only 5%)

Nice, focused product: site-specific extraction rules (CSS selectors/metadata overrides), edge-first delivery (<500ms p99) and SDKs for Node/Python make it quick to drop into an LLM pipeline and claim 40–60% token savings. That said, HTML→Markdown is a crowded niche (Pandoc, Jina, Firecrawl and dozens of scrapers already exist), so Klovr needs clearer differentiation — e.g. demonstrable extraction accuracy, enterprise-grade rule sharing, or unique model-aware trimming — to move beyond 'handy utility'.
