LessPub: A LessWrong Ebook Exporter

LessPub is a CLI tool for downloading Sequences from LessWrong and exporting them as EPUB format ebooks. Check out the releases page for pre-generated downloads.

This project uses the et-book font, which is licensed under the MIT license.

This tool exists because I was frustrated by the LessWrong Ebook Library script. I initially forked that script, but eventually got too annoyed by how bad it was, and made this.

This tool supports downloading single posts, single sequences, or all sequences. Run the tool with --help for instructions.

The cover-generation code is a modified version of what's used in GlowPub, and a lot of the structure of this tool is inspired by that project.
