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://display.archive.org/xmas I’m one of the m

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 to try this.

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 While the main visualisation is currently out of date we’ve been grabbing screenshots monthly for the last 18 months. There’s a

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 rare that anyone makes that kind of mistake. It probably he

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 few more dollars.

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: https://screenshotof.com https://url2te

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 book “Hourly Billing is Nuts” is particula

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 example games it comes with.

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 content: https://url2text.com&

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: Bearer YOUR_URLBOX

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 the edge cases around render

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 - you can see some example output on the

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 pricing is similar. If you'd rather do it for free weas

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 rendered perfectly first. It's not as cheap as other so

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 ready for me to process. I prefer to use Ruby so Nokogiri[3

I purchased one of these after seeing it posted to hn a few weeks ago. Very happy with it. Super easy to setup and just works. Maker has clearly put loads of work into refining the experience.

It's not easy keeping screenshots up to date. One situation where you should always have screenshots in your documentation is when the documentation is for a screenshot API. We recently updated our docs to do a better job of this: htt
