GitHub - simonw/shot-scraper: A command-line utility for taking automated screenshots of websites A command-line utility for taking automated screenshots of websites - simonw/shot-scraper GitHub · github.com [1] > A command-line utility for taking automated screenshots of websites Daaaang, this is such an elegantly simple way to get web screenshots with a cli. I was literally up and running with two commands on my arch linux machine (which it warned was unsupported by playwright). pip install shot-scraper # Now install the browser it needs: shot-scraper install shot-scraper waylonwalker.com shot-scraper https://datasette.io/ shot-scraper https://datasette.io/ -h 1280 -w 1920 shot-scraper https://datasette.io/ -h 480 -w 720 shot-scraper shot --selector '#posts' https://thoughts.waylonwalker.com/post/89 Note shot-scraper https://datasette.io/ is a full length screenshot of the entire page.

- I’d never given this much thought, but there are so many guides that are complete guides for beginner workflows, but once you get beyond beginner there is likely no manual for what you are trying to do in programming. There is no guide that will tell you the best way to get your companies salesforce data, alongside of the ERP data and present it to the users who need to know in a way that compels them to make the right decisions. You are going to have to build this out for yourself by piecing together knowledge about each subject. Note This post is a thought [1].

How to Use HTML to Open a Link in a New Tab Tabs are great, aren't they? They allow the multitasker in all of us to juggle a bunch of online tasks at the same time. Tabs are so common now that, when you click on a link, it's likely it'll ope... freeCodeCamp.org · freecodecamp.org [1] Most of the time when creating links in html [2] you want to maintain the default behavior, as this is what users are going to expect, but sometimes your site behaves such that it does not fit, and it does something unexpected anyways. in this case you might want to make the default behavior to open the link in a new tab rather than relying on users to control click. Use this with restraint as this can make your site feel janky and do things that do not feel natural to the web. <p>Check out <a href="https://www.freecodecamp.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">freeCodeCamp</a>.</p> Note This post is a thought [3].

External Link stackoverflow.com [1] I went down the route of leveraging the json-enc extention in htmx [2], but later realized that this completely breaks browsers/users who do not wish to use javascript. While most of the web would feel quite broken with javascript disabled, I don’t want to contribute to that without good reason. Taking a second look into this issue, rather than using json-enc, and using as_form to get form data into a model keeps the nice DX fo everything being a pydantic model, but the site still works without js. with js htmx kicks in, you get a spa like experience by loading partials onto the page, and without, you just get a full page reload. the implementation # [3] copied from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60127234/how-to-use-a-pydantic-model-with-form-data-in-fastapi import inspect from typing import Type from fastapi import Form from pydantic import BaseModel from pydantic.fields import ModelField def as_form(cls: Type[BaseModel]): new_parameters = [] for field_name, model_field in cls.__fields__.items(): model_field: ModelField # type: ignore new_parameters.append( inspect.Parameter( model_field.alias, inspect.Parameter.POSITION...
