Cinder is now Tomoshibi 灯火 — same scraper, better name
Cinder is now Tomoshibi (灯火, lamp light). Same Go scraper, same API. New name, cleaner monorepo, easier to find. If you used Cinder, your old GitHub URL still redirects and your stars carried over. Migration is two lines. TL;DR for existing users Repo: github.com/Michael-Obele/cinder → github.com/Michael-Obele/tomoshibi (old URL redirects) npm: npx tomoshi ( npx tomoshibi works too, same package)…
Cinder has been rebranded as Tomoshibi (灯火), which means lamp light in Japanese. The scraper and API remain the same, with a cleaner monorepo structure for easier access. Users can still use their old GitHub URL to access the new Tomoshibi repository, and there are no breaking API changes. Tomoshibi is designed to turn messy, dark HTML into clean markdown that language models can easily read.
The rename was motivated by wanting a name that clearly represents the tool's purpose and is easy to search for. The migration process is simple, taking only two lines.
