## What it is
A Node.js CLI tool that crawls an entire website and saves its pages as a single text file, using Mozilla Readability to extract clean content. It is designed to prepare site content as context for AI/LLM models.

## Use cases
- scrape a whole website into one text file for LLM context
- fetch only blog and docs pages from a site
- extract readable content from web pages for AI models
- crawl documentation sites to feed into a chatbot
- convert a website to plain text offline

## When to choose
- you need a site's content as plain text for AI model input
- you want a quick zero-config CLI crawler with glob page matching
- you want readable-content extraction with optional CSS selectors

## When to avoid
- you need JavaScript-rendered SPA content at scale
- you need structured data exports like JSON or CSV
- you need a full-featured scraping framework with scheduling or proxies
