   I use Pocket quite a bit. I've also recently cobbled together a CLI tool that lets me save discussion threads on Reddit, HN and Stack Exchange. Very much a beginner-level project but here it is in case anyone is interested: https:&#x2

   Hello HN. sammelband.app is a hobby project written in Javascript that I started recently after stumbling upon Mozilla's Readability library. It is a web app that takes one or more URLs and extracts the relevant content from each web p

   There's also https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc for for summaries of product characteristics but I'm not sure if there's an API or dataset.

    I've noticed that too, which is strange because some entries are rendered fine (e.g. Names of bacteria in the antibiotic entries). I'll have to poke around and find out what's wrong. Thanks!

    Yeah the category is taken directly from the Drugbank dataset, which can be rather specific and arbitrary. I'll see if there's a summary like you suggest that I could use instead. Thanks very much for the feedback :)

    Someone else suggested including a disambiguation to highlight synonyms, which should be helpful in cases like codeine/heroin. Thanks for the helpful advice re unit tests!

    Yep, I'd planned to use something like autocomplete.js but that's something I'll explore after I've cleaned up the core python functionality. Thanks!

    Thank you! Yeah I indented the headings but you're right, it looks better with the highlighting alone. That's a good suggestion about subheadings. I'll try to do something with regex - shouldn't be too difficult I imagin

    Seems like the entry on Drugbank for insulin is "insulin human", which explains why it doesn't return an immediate match. The closest match using Levenshtein distance is "inulin" instead. Thanks for pointing that ou

    Sorry about that. I've done my best to make sure my code works before and after pushing changes to production. I think it might be due to limitations on the hosting side as I'm using the free tier on PythonAnywhere.

    Ah right, I'll have to tweak the CSS. Thanks a lot!

    It's not usually this slow. I suspect the sluggishness is due to issues on the hosting end related to the spike in traffic. That said, I'm hoping by refactoring the code I can improve performance. Loading spinners is a good idea.

    Your site looks awesome indeed! It reminds me of https://learn-anything.xyz but with a stronger focus on community. Here you go! Only the titles and review URLs were taken from the original sites. The rest are from Google Books.

    Thanks! My chosen career is further away from tech than I'd like - I'm in my final year of medical school. I love tinkering with computers for fun. Ideally, I'd like to be able to include programming alongside clinical practi
