If there is a [Pay]wall, you better bring your own Ladder!

It is now a week since 12ft.io has been gone, and I don’t expect to be back soon. Having 1ft.io as a good working alternative helps. But I’m not so confident using it. So I asked last week if there is a selfhosted alternative to 12ft.io/ or 1ft.io but could not find a satisfying one. Therefore I decided to build it by myself. It is still in early development but I would like to share it with you.

Ladder is written in Golang and it is available as a single binary or a docker container. It is released under the GPL-3.0 License. You can find the source code here:

It comes with a dynamically loaded ruleset, which applies modification to the original site. The Ruleset is very basic at the moment but I will add more rules in the future. (Contributions are very welcome!)The rest works the same as all the other services. Just put the url in the url field and hit enter, and watch the magic happen.

I’ve added some extras: It has a very minimal API to fetch the data as JSON or even RAW HTML.

Another not intended side effect is that it removes all CORS headers and most ads. This makes it easy to use it as an API Proxy for other services you might want to integrate into your site.

I would love to hear your feedback and ⭐ the project is highly appreciated.
