ignore hidden items?

[Shaya Potter]

It seems when I do a snacktory pass on amazon pages (ex: http://www.amazon.com/Vandaveer-Software-Brick-Buster-Pro/dp/B006T4IJTK)

its extracting hidden data, which is obviously not that relevant from a readability perspective. I was a bit confused when looking at the output, as a simple find via a browser didnt see the same text. when i looked at the source I realized that it was using display: hidden.

I realize in some cases it might be beyond the scope of readability (if its not really approaching it from a full DOM perspective), but it would seem in some cases (such as here), it should be more obvious that these nodes should be excluded

Although snacktory has the DOM in memory it does NOT evaluate the css files or rules of inlined css.

Only if the css is directly attached to the DOM it could be easily fixed. All other cases are a big challenge.

understood, the area that it was picking out for the URL I gave above
seems to be (attached below)

which should seemingly be obvious to not be used (display: none) (but
could always be wrong).
