Ask HN: CLI tool to download webpages and convert to Markdown?

Is there a CLI tool that downloads webpages and converts them to Markdown?

I've just started using Obsidian https://obsidian.md/ and would like a way to save interesting blog posts and articles.

  curl --silent https://example.com/foo.html | pandoc --from html --to markdown_strict -o foo.md

I find Joplin https://joplinapp.org does a good job of producing markdown from web pages and already has sync capability built in. Looks like it would be ideal for working with Obsidian

I made this a couple weeks ago: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@dougskinner/markdowner
