Harser – Easy way for HTML parsing and building XPath

Hi HN! Korean high school senior here, about to start CS in college. I built a browser engine from scratch in C++ to understand how browsers work. First time using C++, 8 weeks of development, lots of debugging—but it works! Features: - HTML parsing with error correction - CSS cascade and inheritance - Block/inline layout engine - Async image loading + caching - Link navigation + history Hardest parts: - String parsing(html, css) - Rendering - Image Caching & Layout Reflowing What I learned (beyond code): - Systematic debugging is crucial - Ship with known bugs rather than chase…

(spoiler: its XSLT) I've been working on a little demo for how to avoid copy-pasting header/footer boilerplate on a simple static webpage. My goal is to approximate the experience of Jekyll/Hugo but eliminate the need for a build step before publishing. This demo shows how to get basic templating features with XSL so you could write a blog post which looks like My Article some content hello hello Some properties which set this approach apart from other methods: - no build step (no need to setup Jekyll on the client or configure Github/Gitlab actions) - works on any webserver…

Extract structured data and visualize it without code

Hi HN, I'm Ahmad from the Intuned (https://intunedhq.com) team. Today, we're releasing and open-sourcing Selector Forge (https://selectorforge.ai/), a browser extension that generates reliable CSS/XPath selectors using AI. You can use it to create a selector for a single element or for an array of elements. The selectors it creates are meant to be "semantic" and more resilient to page changes than what Chrome DevTool’s “Copy Selector” (and other similar extensions) give you. Those tend to hand you something brittle like `#top > div.w-100.ph0-l.ph3.ph4-m > h1 >…
