Markdowner ⚡📝

A fast tool to convert any website into LLM-ready markdown data.

👀 Why?

I'm building an AI app called Supermemory - https://git.new/memory. Where users can store website content in the app and then query it using AI. One thing I noticed was - when data is structured and predictable (in markdown format), the LLM responses are much better.

There are other solutions available for this - https://r.jina.ai, https://firecrawl.dev, etc. But they are either:

• too expensive / proprietary
• or too limited.
• very difficult to deploy

Here's a quote from my friend @nexxeln

So naturally, we fix it ourselves ⚡

Features 🚀

• Convert any website into markdown
• LLM Filtering
• Detailed markdown mode
• Auto Crawler (without sitemap!)
• Text and JSON responses
• Easy to self-host
• ... All that and more, for FREE!

Usage

To use the API, just make GET a request to https://md.dhr.wtf

Usage example:

$ curl 'https://md.dhr.wtf/?url=https://example.com'

url (string) -> The website URL to convert into markdown.

OPTIONAL PARAMETERS

enableDetailedResponse (boolean: false) -> Toggle for detailed response with full HTML content. crawlSubpages (boolean: false) -> Crawl and return markdown for up to 10 subpages. llmFilter (boolean: false) -> Filter out unnecessary information using LLM.

Response Types

Tech

Under the hood, Markdowner utilises Cloudflare's Browser rendering and Durable objects to spin up browser instances and then convert it to markdown using Turndown.

You can easily self host this project. To use the browser rendering and Durable Objects, you need the Workers paid plan
