• Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (March 2026)

  Data extraction: https://simplescraper.io A project that I launched on HN that became a business. Simplescraper rode the no-code wave of a few years back ('instant structured data without parsing html'). Now working on increasing the surface area for AI agents: MCP support, screenshots API, and (experimentally) x402^ ^ https://simplescraper.io/blog/x402-payment-protocol/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Scraperr – A Self Hosted Webscraper

  1. Clicking the box programmatically – possible but inconsistent 2. Outsourcing the task to one of the many CAPTCHA-solving services (2Captcha etc) – better 3. Using a pool of reliable IP addresses so you don't encounter checkboxes or turnstiles – best I run a web scraping startup (https://simplescraper.io) and this is usually the approach. It has become more difficult, and I think a lot of the AI crawlers are... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (October 2024)

  Making my data extraction Saas (https://simplescraper.io) more LLM friendly. Markdown extraction, improved Google search, workflows - search for this terms, visit the first N links, summarize etc. Big demand for (or rather, expectation of) this lately. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• The Architecture Behind a One-Person Tech Startup

  Things are much easier for one-person startups these days—it's a gift. I remember building a todo app as my first SaaS project, and choosing something called Stormpath for authentication. It subsequently shut down, forcing me to do a last-minute migration from a hostel in Japan using Nitrous Cloud IDE (which also shut down). Just pain upon pain.[1] Now, you can just pick a full-stack cloud service and run with it.... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Best OS for Pinephone Pro?

  I haven't messed with mine recently so not sure what the status of mobian is right now, but it would be worth giving it a try. Source: over 3 years ago

• Show HN: DivestOS, long term support for end-of-life Android devices

  Sounds like you want https://postmarketos.org/ or https://mobian-project.org/ ? - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago

• Recent work towards mobile GNOME demoed on OnePlus 6 (Video by @calebccff on Twitter)

  This is still in active development. I would recommend trying postmarketOS or Mobian if you have a compatible device. They are both mainly packaged with Phosh, which is also a GNOME project, although most development is headed by Purism. Source: about 4 years ago

• Droidian Linux on Google Pixel 3a

  Droidian is based on Mobian, a distro that aims to adapt Debian to mobile. It uses the same technologies as Ubuntu Touch (libhybris and Halium) to create support for Android devices. Source: over 4 years ago

• We have developed an application that gives people worldwide a tool to boycott brands that have not left Russian and pay taxes there, identifying businesses that still operate by their names. We have added a barcode scanner so that you can scan products directly in the store.

  I have to make compromises often, but I choose to only install programs that can trust after setting up my system because I need to trust the device that I carry around with me 100% of the time in my pocket. I use Mobian on my phone and the only nonfree software installed are a few drivers. Source: over 4 years ago
