Getsy – browser/client-side web scraper

In plain words

Getsy is a browser-based web scraper that runs on the client side, meaning it operates directly in your browser rather than on a server. Launched in 2017, it's designed for users who need to extract data from websites without installing additional software. The tool is particularly useful for researchers, data analysts, and casual users who want to collect information from web pages. Since it runs locally in your browser, it offers privacy benefits as data processing happens on your own machine rather than being sent elsewhere.

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
