ScreenCraftAPI
Hey HN, I built a REST API for capturing screenshots and generating PDFs from URLs. Why: I got tired of managing Puppeteer/Playwright in production. Memory leaks, zombie processes, Docker issues. So I wrapped it in an API. Stack: - Node.js + Fastify - Playwright (more stable than Puppeteer in my experience) - Self-hosted on Hetzner Features: - Screenshots: PNG, JPEG, WebP - PDFs: A4, Letter, custom sizes - Full-page capture, custom viewports - Cookie consent auto-accept - Lazy-load handling API example: curl -X POST…

Talanoa▲346Hi 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.

Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser. When I made HN Made of Primes I realized I could probably do this offline sqlite/wasm thing with the whole GBs of archive. The whole dataset. So I tried it, and this is it. Have Hacker News on your device. Go to this repo (https://github.com/DOSAYGO-STUDIO/HackerBook): you can download it. Big Query -> ETL -> npx serve docs - that's it. 20 years of HN arguments and beauty, can be yours forever. So they'll never die. Ever. It's the unkillable static archive of HN and it's…
