+ ## ๐Ÿ“– Description
43
+
44
+ **PyStates** is a fast, minimalist command-line utility that downloads full-length articles from major publications (The New Yorker, Wired, The Atlantic, and hundreds more) and extracts clean, readable text using the industry-leading [Trafilatura](https://github.com/adbar/trafilatura) library.
45
+
46
+ It automatically removes ads, navigation menus, sidebars, comments, and boilerplate, then saves the result as either beautifully formatted **Markdown** (`.md`) or clean **Plain Text** (`.txt`).
47
+
48
+ Designed for researchers, writers, journalists, students, and power users who want to archive high-quality content locally โ€” without distractions or paywalls interfering with readability.
49
+
50
+ ```bash
51
+ pystates -u https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2025/01/20/the-new-ai-era

62
+ - ๐Ÿ **Modern Python Stack** โ€” Built for Python 3.10+ with clean architecture

42
+ ## ๐Ÿ“– Description
43
+
44
+ **PyStates** is a fast, minimalist command-line utility that downloads full-length articles from major publications (The New Yorker, Wired, The Atlantic, and hundreds more) and extracts clean, readable text using the industry-leading [Trafilatura](https://github.com/adbar/trafilatura) library.
45
+
46
+ It automatically removes ads, navigation menus, sidebars, comments, and boilerplate, then saves the result as either beautifully formatted **Markdown** (`.md`) or clean **Plain Text** (`.txt`).
47
+
48
+ Designed for researchers, writers, journalists, students, and power users who want to archive high-quality content locally โ€” without distractions or paywalls interfering with readability.

+

+ ```bash
51
+ pystates -u https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2025/01/20/the-new-ai-era
