recrun

======

recrun is an acronym that stands for *retain essential content, remove unwanted noise*.

It presents article web pages in a format optimized for reading.

To use recrun, install the extension, navigate to an article web page,

and click the eyeglasses icon in the browser toolbar (there is an arrow pointing

to this icon in the recrun screenshot).

Optionally, recrun can use the [Diffbot Article API][diffbot_article_api] to extract

relevant content. A Diffbot token is required for this, and must be entered in recrun's

options.

[diffbot_article_api]: http://www.diffbot.com/products/automatic/article/

The extension is available for Chrome at

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/recrun/ocikmakgbemmhogikcbcbkebeephjcno.

The extension is available for Firefox at

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/recrun/.

Development

-----------

A different `manifest.json` is used for Chrome and Firefox. For development, create a symbolic link

`manifest.json` that points to either `manifest_chrome.json` or `manifest_firefox.json`, depending

on the environment.

To generate zip archives, run `zip.sh`.
