Since custom little utilities are now almost free for the technically-minded, I guess I value of ideas for them has increased.

In light of that, two things that have been making my life slightly better this week:

* A Chrome extension that lets you select any div on a page and then downloads the contents of that div (including images) as an EPUB for putting on an ereader.

* A job that runs on a little server that monitors my email and, based on a YAML file of regexps for sender, subject, etc, will notify me via Pushover if a matching email is received. (No polling, thanks to JMAP.)

FWIW, @readeck (which saves articles and can export them, IIRC as ePub) combined with its browser extension (which lets you select the part of the page to save) already comes close to the first idea.

@tynstar Indeed! There are likely services already which do this. (And I've used one in the past.) They'll be more polished and featureful. But the no account, no emails, exactly-what-you-need nature is nice for my basic use.
