  • Hacker News
  • loving it i dont care that its AI assisted as long as it works as its described

    great work!

  • same setup here for news pages. tier 3 is where my money went, 320 solves a day and 10gb of proxy gone in two days.
  • Quite useful. Currently we do overpay for the services.
  • Because we... Need more webpage scraping?

    It seems the scraping itself is much of the current internet traffic problem.

  • I think the biggest issue is that cloud providers turned something that's a cheap commodity (bandwidth) into something that needs to be nickel and dimed. There's a reason AWS is Amazon's most profitable division and it's certainly not because they offer the best value towards customers.
  • It being vibe coded aside, does it support screenshots? I noticed the daemon mode has a lot of weird limitations too like not being able to return html.
  • It is WIP, as OP mentioned, so I wouldn’t expect it in this version…
  • I made https://newsagents.app and I ended up using the extract API from kagi and falling back to cloudflares browser API for problem pages. That looks to be more cost efficient than firecrawl, but I could run this and get more extraction. Search APIs dominate the expense though.
