Exabase's 'Website to Markdown API' Charted on Product Hunt, Pushing HTML-to-LLM Conversion Toward a Commodity

Website to Markdown API by Exabase reached #6 on the Product Hunt August 6 leaderboard with 97 upvotes on a single-function pitch: turn any website into LLM-ready markdown. It is a thin finding on its own, but it sits directly on top of a category — Firecrawl, Jina Reader and similar scrape-to-markdown services — where the differentiator is already just price and rate limits. Worth logging as a price-floor signal rather than a product: when the top ten of a launch day includes a one-endpoint HTML converter, the retrieval preprocessing layer has stopped being a business and become a utility. Single-sourced to the Product Hunt leaderboard.
