Living in Australia and interested in buying a business, I can attest to biz4sale-type sites being a real problem.
If you're interested in giving the tool a shot, feel free to shoot me an email (take my username and insert an @ after david and a .com at the end) and I'll happily give you access after I get it up somewhere publicly accessible -- possibly in the next couple of weeks.
email sent!

Very interesting idea! I wonder if a political campaign one day will be to start a program that eradicates mosquitos via drone fleets, not just in the context of malaria protection but also in just nuisance reduction. There are similar programs in place in certain metro areas that already do mosquito control (using chemicals of varying toxicity), so it's not as wild of an idea as it probably sounds. My friend once ca…
There are bio solutions, e.g. my city puts mosquito-larva-killing bacteria in the river and the lakes. It works okay, but they are unable target _all_ water surface. They use drones, they give out these bacteria to people so they put it in the rainwater tanks, etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacillus_thuringiensis_israele...
It sounds more like a kind of biological warfare. Does this bacterium pose any harm to humans? Or is it only harmful to mosquito larvae?

#895I am working on DataGrid Toolkit. Based on my experiences building and selling (Excel like) data grids, people always look for your data grid, "but can it do this"? With DataGrid Toolkit, a developer can choose his own building blocks/modules and make a more Excel-like data grid, or make a more DataTables style traditional paginated table. The toolkit is headless and stateless by design and comes with different rende…
Even though it is headless by design , it is still good to have a good looking default UI if you want better adoption.
Agree!

#898just released https://changeloghub.com,
it automatically creates changelog pages from github PR commits. Still trying to nail down the PR diff to changelog generation, mostly context issues. Rn, I basically summarize each diff and then give that as a context for AI to generate structured changelogs. Works well for smaller diffs, larger diffs loose context.
its free, feedback would be appreciated

#899I'm copying the Puppeteer / Playwright client API to run in a Chrome extension using the native Chrome extension APIs. It is possible to run Playwright inside a Chrome extension, however, it requires the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) to automate a browser which really hurts the user experience, is very slow, and opens security vulnerabilities. Chrome extension APIs can accomplish maybe ~85% of the same functionality…
I was working on something almost similar, mostly to create a browser agent, and LLMs are really good at writing playwright scripts compared to vanilla JS.
