Markdownifier - fuckyeahmarkdown.com →
A tool to convert HTML into Markdown.
It uses the Readability algorithm to determine what part of the page is actually of interest, cutting out the ads and comments and such. What you get back is a plain text representation of the page, ready for adding to any text-based note taking application, or just storing in text files on your disk. Sometimes it doesn’t work.

Every time someone asked me if I was using any of these tools/languages I would say that I’m kinda used to my current workflow and I don’t really see a reason for changing it since the problems those languages solves are not really the problems I’m having with CSS.
