Page fetching

Page fetching from the command line.

Turn a URL into readable text, including pages that need a browser.

For the agenda PDF, the council minutes, the pricing page that renders in JavaScript. One command in, text out, on the same record as everything else.

Four commands

Each of the last three opens a browser tab, does one thing, and hands the terminal back.

curl -sSL https://gbrainio.terminalwire.sh | bash   # install it
gbrainio terminal connect                           # set the terminal up and connect it
gbrainio tool firecrawl open                        # connect the account
gbrainio terminal open                              # turn Page fetching on for the terminal

The installer is a shell script for macOS and Linux. Read it before you run it.
