What it does

Stekpad is a free tool for real time collaboration. Work together on products or documents. And Stekpad is free.

API-first web scraping with built-in dataset storage, 19 native enrichers, a cookie bridge that never stores your cookies, and a first-class MCP server.

Hosted 24/7, rescraped on a schedule, exposed as a live REST API and an MCP tool. Zero selectors, zero code, zero babysitting. Paste a URL, pick a format, hit Run scrape. You get a real run id, the actual response, and the credit cost. Hit Run scrape to send a real request to /v1/scrape . You'll get a run id, the credit cost, and the actual response. Early-access teams are scraping tens of thousands of URLs a week — no selectors written, no cron jobs babysat. The AI agent does the selector writing, the pagination heuristics, and the re-run loop. You bring the URL and keep the data. Drop the page you want to extract — a product listing, a directory, a hub. Optionally describe what you need,…from stekpad.com

    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.
