URL to markdown

Any public web page as clean, LLM-ready markdown — headings, lists, tables, links, and images preserved; nav, ads, and boilerplate removed. JavaScript-rendered pages included. Plain page reading only: YouTube, X, Facebook, and other structured sources have their own endpoints and are not auto-detected here. Recently read pages are served from cache for free.

Credits: 1 (refunded on failure).
