We can help with the automation of data extraction from all those regional websites into a single google sheet and save volunteers’ time. I’d be happy to donate scraping capacity to this project. If this is relevant ping me at omar@ domain

Shameless but very relevant plug: Monitoring a website for changes and sending data somewhere else is exactly what we do at https://monitoro.xyz It’s the difference between maintaining a bunch of scripts and making sure they do

The way I see it, it's first a question of how much agency is given to any computer program over the real world, regardless of how advanced it is cognitively speaking. Technically a bash script can be nightmare-ish if plugged into a nu

That's a great idea actually! @dang are such bots allowed in HN? I can roll it out pretty easily with Monitoro ( https://monitoro.xyz ) and would be happy to cover the costs.

Every time I find myself involved in a startup producing a platform, I always wonder a very similar derivative idea: create an incubator (or a fund?) to kickstart small startups leveraging that platform. Previous such projects were a fast m

Thanks! I have a few destinations I'm interested in and some others that I take regularly. I'm watching the respective airlines' own websites for specific searches, and gather the prices in a spreadsheet that I review every t

I just commented on something similar: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22345215 Disclaimer, it’s a project of mine, but if the websites you’re watching are compatible that will save you some hassle trying to extract da

I'm using Tailwind to power a project of mine (monitoro.xyz) and I would say the experience was amazing. Throughout my entire experience with it the only part I found annoying was setting up the build system, but that's a one-time

My first exposure to it was in Haskell. It felt very surreal and almost magical at the time.

Start with the smallest piece that gives you motivation, might not even need a backend component. For example, a tiny widget that shows you an artist page or whatever, that can be embedded. Then ship that, show it to HN and all around. This

Speaking from the other side (as a maker), sometimes it's not that trivial to provide public access, and requiring sign up is a good deterrent against high traffic that has low value (curious folks). The thing is, some products require

I'm thinking BGP, DNS, IP subnets allocations and all the low level stuff. Also SSL authorities etc. I'm sure there's a lot of stuff you'd need to roll, I bet it would make for an interesting article :D

Another significant differentiator: We're the only vendor in the entire space providing a cloud native, on-premise option, compatible with any cloud vendor (no lock-in to AWS, Azure or anything else)

Have you tried tailwind css before? It's a similar philosophy to Atomic but slightly higher level (similar to Tachyons) more opinionated, and potentially even faster to develop with.

Exactly, that looks like a much better cross pollination. I was secretly hoping TFA would talk at one point about API design and leveraging design systems to bring uniformity and consistency to software APIs. That would have made for a much

This article was pretty confusing. At one point I thought the main thesis was to take inspiration from software APIs to document the process between the design and development team, which already looked like a pretty horrible proposition, t

I don't particularly agree with the author, as I think they are mixing up the mathematical theory and the computational part of it. Yes you can pull Tensorflow and start creating layers without much knowledge in Algebra, just like you

Leakiness is not referring to "correctness" or any sort of practical shortcoming. It actually means that the abstraction is not actually abstracting the concept it is representing, and thus requires you to understand lower level c

FSMs (and HSMs, the hierarchical version) are very useful for UI design, I am afraid the point that the article is trying to make: > A simpler approach would be to have a single variable for state, and only allows switching between well

We’re barely out of the MVP stage, but I already see at least two major differences: - Javascript based custom transformations - Specific focus on Webhooks (we’re compatible out of the box with Slack, Google Chat, Discord and really whateve

Could you please refer which competition you have in mind exactly? We're laser focused on extracting data, transforming it and sending it to webhooks. No other service to our knowledge achieves a similar result with the same (low) effo

Hello HN, Monitoro is a service I built to watch websites for changes, scrape data, and whenever the data changes, send it to a webhook of your choice. 2 months ago, I shared this project on Hacker news and got a very warm reception. https
