Comment on Ask HN: Readability loves readers, but at what cost to authors?

Comments

As a "recovering journalist" who constantly recommends Readability to friends, the lack of authorship attribution concerns me greatly.

I don't write Javascript, so I can't provide myself with such a service, but as annoying (heavy bandwidth/printwidth) as many posts are, I think the average web-browsing citizen is soon going to catch on to the joy of reading clean copy.

Here's my vote for Readability (or some other enterprising JS coder) to offer this service along with attribution of authorship and original URL. —just my 2¢
