This applicating is inspired by color blindness accessibility testing tools. But instead of checking how well your site is looking to some people, it is to check how accessible your website to LLMs.
Yes, and that is on purpose. I tasked an LLM to write an HTML-to-text converter from scratch and the result of its first and only attempt at doing so is exactly what is used to show you the text. The idea is that I do not expect any LLM-powered application developer to spend any more effort than that.
This Readme file is written by a human. It is ironic for this file to be the only one human-written in the repository.
One of the biggest LLM accessibility improvements possible on any modern website is hosting a plaintext version of it. If a proper
<link rel="llms-txt" /> tag is present on the page - then its content is shown instead.
Alernative text is also shown if that tag is not present, but the HTML page contains something like this (a real world example!)
<div style="display:none" aria-hidden="true">

I decided to be nice for such case, even though I'd like to have a word with any user whose LLM has access to the Internet and is allowed to follow instructions found on some random web pages...
Clone the repo and do cargo run. If you are missing GTK development libraries, you'll get some errors. To fix those just follow the instructions for GTK
for your OS from GTK-rs documentation.
You'll see a browser-like interface - enter URL and hit Enter or click "Go" button.
The GTK-rs documentation is a good example of a documentation site that is NOT accessible for the LLMs:
If you do not even have cargo installed, you'll need this: https://rustup.rs/. Rust may be scary at first, but it is really good once you
spend a bit of time with it.
Because I am a lazy human? Actually, there is a Ctrl+G shortcut. Place the cursor at any URL and press that to navigate. Or just do the copy-paste thing - it also works.
But hey, did you notice that there is a sort of a browsing history? There are even Back/Forward buttons!
Just kidding.
