@acidus NewsWaffle is instantly one of my favorite services of all time. I have been trying to beat your record and finally did it over at reddit "Size: 1.53 KB. 99.85% smaller than original HTML: 1021.67 KB 🤮" · 9 months ago
Excellent work, thank you! · 9 months ago
@ophiuchus the URL of the news site is in the query string for NewsWaffle. so you can just bookmark it and comes back to the French news site, via NewsWaffle, later. if you send me the URL I can also add it to the home page · 9 months ago
just got this from a Wired article:
Size: 5.74 KB. 99.39% smaller than original HTML: 936.17 KB 🤮
that’s not 940KB for the page. that’s *just* the HTML! I should make sure NewsWaffle is using Brotli when downloading 😂
we should have a contest to see who can find a page with the most savings 😂😭😂 · 9 months ago
LMAO, this is just crazy:
Size: 2.79 KB. 96.63% smaller than original HTML: 82.75 KB 🤮
This is really cool! I don't look at news on news sites specifically too much, but it's definitely useful for people who do read news sites. I imagine what you learned through writing this will also help improve duckling and your search engine.
Actually, Now I wonder how it would work with 9to5 news sites (like 9to5google).... · 9 months ago
this is amazing. this venturebeat article processed like *nothing* i love this. gemini://gemi.dev/cgi-bin/waffle.cgi/view?https%3A%2F%2Fventurebeat.com%2F2022%2F07%2F06%2Freport-95-of-employees-say-it-issues-decrease-workplace-productivity-and-morale%2F · 9 months ago
Tried it with a French news site (20minutes.fr) and it seemed to work flawlessly. Good job and thanks !! · 9 months ago
Nice work, love it. · 9 months ago
Also the "x% smaller than the original http file size" at the end of the pages are a very nice touch! · 9 months ago
Very cool! Just checked out a few articles from my local news. Seems to work well. Thanks! · 9 months ago
