So good to see this different approach! The clustering looks really cool and love that the focus is not on the most popular websites. Here’s another Christmassy alternative: https:…

Thank you! This is exactly what I want to do with this. I have embeddings for all the images but hadn’t figured out the last step to getting them onto a grid like that. Can’t wait …

Hi HN, I’m one of the makers of this - thank you for posting! We built it in early 2024 and it’s due an update. While the main visualisation is currently out of date we’ve been gra…

There’s a filament saving variant where you can use toilet rolls or other waste cardboard for the walls: https://www.printables.com/model/880256-cardboard-gridfinity...

They list "Managed Iceberg tables" top of list of features on that page.

How is this different from Crunchy Warehouse which is also built on Postgres and DuckDB? https://www.crunchydata.com/products/warehouse

Too many developers learn this the hard way. It’s one of the top reasons larger organisations prefer to use hosted services rather than doing it themselves.

That’s right. On our standard self-service plans we automatically charge a better rate as volume increases. You only pay the difference between tiers as you move through them. It’s…

I’m sure we can do better here. In my experience our customers are more worried about having the service stop when they hit the limit of a tier than they are about being charged a …

If you’re worried about the security risks, edge cases, maintenance pain and scaling challenges of self hosting there are various solid hosted alternatives: - https://browserless.i…

We do that with Urlbox’s markdown feature: https://urlbox.com/extracting-text

This is great! If you also want to grab an accurate screenshot with the markdown of a webpage you can get both with Urlbox. We have a couple of free tools that use this feature: ht…

I highly recommend reading Jonathan Stark’s material on this topic. It changed the way I think about billing for software projects and advisory work. https://jonathanstark.com/ His…

DragonRuby https://dragonruby.org/ I had so much fun with this with my 7 year old. Was super easy to take their art and make games with it. You can start by editing one of the many…

This is worth having a look at: https://mixmark-io.github.io/turndown/ With some configuration you can get most of the way there.

Our tool sadly also fails on this: https://url2text.com/u/KYkpBj The challenge there is that the content is in an iframe. If you get the URL used for the iframe you can get the con…

Thanks! Sorry it's not clearer but you can skip the screenshot in the Urlbox API if you want to with: curl -X POST \ https://api.urlbox.io/v1/render/sync \ -H 'Authorization: Beare…

Last time I tried readability it worked well with articles but struggled with other kinds of pages. Took away far more content than I wanted it to.

It's not easy working around things like that. But here's how it could work: https://url2text.com/u/wYVake We were lucky to build this on a mature API that already solves loads of …

Great idea to offer image downloads and filtering with GPT! I built a similar tool last year that doesn't have those features: https://url2text.com/ Apologies if the UI is slow - y…

It sounds like this is as advanced as DocRaptor[1]. They have what I consider to be the best PDF generation API, giving complete control over the documents you need to create. The …

Urlbox will save the whole page. It's primarily purpose is to render screenshots full-page or limited to viewport or an element. To do that well as it does the HTML has to be rende…

This is how I do it. I send the URLs I want scraped to Urlbox[0] it renders the pages saves HTML (and screenshot and metadata) to my S3 bucket[1]. I get a webhook[2] when it's read…

I recommend Jonathan Stark's writing on this: https://jonathanstark.com/ His daily email list gives me regular reminders of how to improve in sales and pricing. His books are brill…
