The Toolbox π§°
π¨βπ» DataGrab by Robert Balazsi
DataGrab automates data extraction from any webpage, allowing you to set up your scrapers easily by clicking and selecting elements.
Web Scrapers can be used for a lot of purposes like lead generation, price monitoring, data aggregation among others. While datagrab seems to be fairly new and after having played with it over last few days, it's fair to say that this is the easiest tool I've used.
Web scraping is now legal in the US, scraping data that is publicly accessible on the internet is not a violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) court states.
Enhance your Wikipedia experience with a beautiful, clean, modern design that's fully customizable.
Once installed, Modern will simply apply the new look and features to existing Wikipedia article pages, without you having to do anything.
If you ever stumble upon wiki (or) you're a researcher then you know how messy it can seem to find a piece of information in a cluttered UI. This tool makes it breeze, check out.
π Outliner by Rodrigo Vasconcellos
Improving your reading experience online, outliner remove the clutter and you get a page that's more readable. Under the hood, it uses two websites that are the reason of magic.
Outliner has been amazing, it also helps me remove paywalls on the sites I don't visit very often which wouldn't be worth paying every month.
π₯ ZeroBlur by Massimo Chieruzzi
Blur any sensitive information from any website or web app. Keep data safe when delivering demos or recording videos!
With ZeroBlur, you can select specific elements or areas of your app or website that you want to be blurred. Choose if you're going to blur them only on one particular page or site-wide, and you're good to go! I've checked it out recently and it works great.
Story of the week π
π Vocal by Nathan Ganser
Vocal adds an extra button on your gmail menu bar, one of the best ways to get your point across online today is often via video or voice. vocal is trying to make it easy to do that.
I'm blown away by how simple these solutions seem to be, but they do address a gap in the market - before this, you'd had to manually record and upload but now with vocal it's just a matter of minutes to do the same. Vocal is currently at $610MRR and they've been running an appsumo lifetime deal as well, pretty stable. Good luck, Nathan.
That's it from my end.
As always, you can always write to me if you have any suggestions or feedback @fardeenxyz or simply reply to this email.
Have a great weekend βοΈ
