• Scraping with puppeteer and export in JSON format

  To begin scraping data, you have to decide which platform data you want to scrap. While it is easy to scrap data, some platforms prevent access to scraping of it data and you will have to use a third-party tool like ZenRows or Oxylabs just to mention a few. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Run your GitHub Actions locally

• Dagger Shell: Unix Pipeline Pattern for Typed API Objects

• Nix – Death by a Thousand Cuts

  Try flox [0]. It's an imperative frontend for Nix that I've been using. I don't know how to use nix-shell/flakes or whatever it is they do now, but flox makes it easy to just install stuff. [0]: https://flox.dev/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
