Does this have any connection with Readability, the JS bookmarklet that, uh, makes web articles readable that was released a couple months ago? I know that was open sourced, so maybe it's a fork and I missed that.
Readable has absolutely nothing to do with Readability.
1. It is not a fork of Readability.
2. It does not perform the same operations on content as Readability.
3. It has different options to Readability.
4. And it wasn't even inspired by Readability.
(It was actually inspired by Paul Graham's website; or, actually, with me not enjoying the layout of said website when it comes to reading long, awesome essays.)
