Microformats Reader brings the Indieweb to the surface!

This extension parses the webpages you visit to find specially tagged data such as h-cards, rel links, and webmention endpoints, then displays that content in a readable, consistent format.

Currently supported data:

  • rel links: Webmention endpoints, RSS/Atom feeds, public keys, search, alternate.
  • h-card
  • h-feed and h-entry
  • h-event
  • h-adr and h-geo

Most standard fields for these containers are supported. However, you may find that some sites use non-standard tags, or use tags in non-standard ways. These may not be displayed at all, or you may be able to view their raw data as JSON objects. If you find cases which you think should be supported please open an issue and I will try and include them.

Hints and tips:

  • Hover over any data to view its microformat type.
  • Control + right click any data to copy it to your clipboard.

Changelog

changelog

Fix: unrecognised h- classes are now removed before parsing microformats.

Version code is 1.0.279 on Chrome, 1.0.280 on Firefox. The version code comes from the git commit count. There are no runtime differences between these versions - only an added utility script to make the Firefox auditing process easier.

changelog

Webmention endpoint now correctly handles relative URLs.
