Web2MD runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 158 installs a week from npm. Last commit 15 Oct 2026.
Turn any web page into clean Markdown, text or token-bounded RAG chunks (via RapidAPI).
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Web2MD every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
