Question

I wonder how to open some article using ‘reading view’ of Readability – just like Tweetbot is doing it. But without sending article to my account and save to queue.

Displaying article using Readability like in Reeder is not so easy, right? I would have to write to company and ask them for access to their parser?

Maybe is there any other good way to parse articles using Readability. I have read something about javascript parser, but don’t know too much.

Could you help me?

You can use Readability mobilizer for this. You will get a cleaned up version of any article, in the Readability styling:

http://www.readability.com/m?url=http://{URLOFTHEARTICLE}

Just prepare the URL and load it in your UIWebView. I’m escaping the parameter values. Here is how it looks in action:

http://www.readability.com/m?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com%2F2013%2F01%2F11%2Fshowbiz%2Ftv%2Fgolden-globes-tv-vineyard%2Findex.html%3Fhpt%3Dhp_abar
