Handinger

A few months ago, I was developing a bookmark manager for https://fika.bar. I needed a way to fetch metadata, screenshots, and markdown content from websites. Since Fika is a donation-based product, I couldn't afford any of the providers out there, so I decided to build instead of buy. "Easy," I thought. But weeks later, I found myself building data pipelines, implementing proxy rotation schemes, and dealing with TLS fingerprinting. Not fun—and definitely not how I wanted to spend my time. My product was a bookmark manager, not a data extraction service, yet most of my efforts…
