For mindless browsing when you’re trying to fill a few minutes, I’m quite a fan of Mix [1]. I believe this used to be stumbleupon. You simply enter your interests and it keeps suggesting related content.

Thanks! That was actually my inspiration. I probably should have mentioned it but I tried to keep this post pretty free form while I was working on this so I didn't heavily editorialise it.

The alternative is to hook into the Google Docs API which gives you a more structured response which you can then self style.

Exporting HTML was the easy way out for me. I haven’t investigated the accessibility impact but the file sizes are minimal so it didn’t feel like a massive trade off.

Another solution that I explored a bit was using the google docs api. It returns a Json structure of the doc. I just used the drive export as a shortcut but you could totally create something neater with the drive api.

Hah fortunately those secrets were never actually in use. I just did the unspeakable and quickly rebased master to update that though so thanks for that!

I wasn't planning on sharing the code at first so I probably didn't give it as critical an eye as I should have. This was also a learning project for me to try out Kotlin so I'm sure there are a million things others would do far better.

That’s left entirely to the developer to decide. You can intercept your network requests with a service worker and decide what to do from there [1].
