This is the entire Firefox browser rendering to a element. Gecko, all UI components, and the Spidermonkey JS engine are all compiled and running in WebAssembly. Here are a few things you might find interesting: - This is fully end to end encrypted! We use the WISP protocol for TCP-over-websockets. - There is a novel WASM->JS JIT for experimental site speedup - This port cost over 25k in opus/fable tokens for debugging and JIT research This was just a fun experiment to push the boundaries of WebAssembly. For a more usable "browser in browser" experience, we also built…

Hi! I'm Marcell, and I'm working on FetchFox (https://fetchfoxai.com). It's a Chrome extension that lets you use AI to scrape any website for any data. I'd love to get your feedback. Here's a quick demo showing how you can use it to scrape leads from an auto dealer directory. What's cool is that it scrapes non-uniform pages, which is quite hard to do with "traditional" scrapers: https://youtu.be/wPbyPSFsqzA A little background: I've written lots and lots of scrapers over the last 10+ years.

Hi, HN. Gui, Lucis, and the deco.cx team here — we're a bunch of Brazilians building an open-source, all-in-one web editor for the modern TypeScript dev. Check out our GitHub at https://github.com/deco-cx/deco and discover more at our site https://deco.cx/. We built frontend tools at a hyper-growth e-commerce platform for 9 years. Deco.cx is the thing that we wish existed when we were managing hundreds of enterprise-grade React-based websites. The gist is: JSX, HTMX, TypeScript, Tailwind and Deno. All visually editable in a beautiful, collaborative,…

Sharing an internal tool that accelerated my development work 10-fold, especially with API debugging. Thought fellow developers here might find it useful. As a developer, I often have trouble reproducing errors at the client end. https://intercept.rest lets me debug and monitor API requests and responses. It is similar to the Network tab in Chrome Developer Tools but works for any API: mobile apps, webhooks, frontend etc. After I shared it with a close circle of friends, they found it incredibly useful and even found new use cases, I never imagined. Been a long time lurker here and…

Following on our previous discussion on HN [1], we've gone ahead and implemented a REST interface for our online fax service, where we previously only had a SOAP API. Documentation [2] is 90% complete, so this might be a good time to get your feedback if we're doing it right. As always, brutal honesty appreciated! -------------- [1] http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3467287 [2] http://www.interfax.net/en/dev/rest/reference
