In Wildcard: Customize HN using a spreadsheet viewRelated idea: Wildcard [0]
It would be cool to have a shared community repository of site adapters, in the spirit of adversarial interoperability [1]. It's probably the most tedious and boring part of such projects, once it's abstracted away it would be much more fun to experiment. This could also be useful for projects like Fraidycat [2] or RSS feed generators like Politepol [3], alternative UIs like Woob [4] etc
