I made this open-sourced tool after seeing so many links to archive.pl in the comments under paywalled articles on HN.

Now, if you open an article an it has a paywall, just type 'unbloq.us/' before the URL in your browser and get automagically redirected to the article on `archive.pl`! If there is not archive of it yet, it redirects you to a page that will automatically create one for you. Unfortunately, this takes a few minutes, but is still 100% automatic.

If you see any bugs or have some ideas to contribute, please make a PR at https://github.com/leiDnedyA/unbloq.us !
