Currently working solo on the MVP of https://web2ebook.com/.

It's a tool to scratch my own itch, which is converting all kinds of web content into ebooks and send them to my ereader.

Currently focusing on web pages/Atom/RSS feeds but I may extend it later e.g. into transcribing videos + extracting image highlights.

Feedback/ideas are already appreciated. :)


This might help people when looking for an alternative.

It's a side project I'm currently building so hearing some feedback is highly appreciated.




Be more careful about spreading misinformation, as both that story as well as the original contain posts from mods which explain it was bullshit.

Thanks, on my list now.


Fly.io also seems to be missing. Great for Elixir and Rails. Pretty great Heroku replacement


Fly.io is covered. Here's the list of all hosting services currently supported:

We're not really a managed Postgres service, for what it's worth (we like Supabase a lot for hardcore managed Postgres).


I don't think anybody said that Fly.io is/has a managed Postgres service.


I use Gigalixir to host Elixir apps. It's more or less a drop-in Heroku replacement and it's worked really well for me.


drop the array and quotes in the url to make it prettier :)


Hey zach, any update on your eyesight?


Good point, the library I'm using just encodes the array in JSON but I may be able to switch to a comma separated list.


You're missing Scaleway as a provider I think.


Thanks! Will be adding.


great idea! thAnks!


Glad you like it.


Thanks for letting me know! That's definitely something that I don't have an eye for (yet). Hope you are talking mainly about visuals here and not had any issues that completely prevented you from using the tool.


No issues that prevented use


Hey HN, would love if some of you could try out the tool I have been working on over the last few weeks and provide some feedback. :)

It's still in an early phase and I'm currently trying to optimize the matching algorithm (technology -> hosting provider) as much as possible.

Here's the stack for those who are interested: - Sveltekit - TailwindCSS - MongoDB

Enjoy your day!


Hey HN,

this cheatsheet is the result of me building on of my recent side projects. It essentially includes everything there is to know about CORS (Cross Origin Resource Sharing).

blockedbycors.dev is my try at finding a solution to the endless stream of people being annoyed with CORS issues. So if you happen to encounter anyone that is in this situation, I'd be very glad if you could refer them to the page.

Currently the project is still in an MVP phase, but there's a lot more planned. Just trying to figure out what helps people the most at the moment. :) Cheers, Max


Good stuff, thanks!

One suggestion: I see in request, preflight request, and preflight response, you've organized the headers into required and optional, while the response headers are not organized as such. Would be nice to show which are required for response headers.


Glad you like it.

Thanks for the suggestion but I think I did. The preflight response node lists all required and optional headers. The same as in the preflight request node. Let me know if I missed something.


Guess you mean "ruining"?


TLDR Became a freelance DevOps engineer at the beginning of this year and I share what has been my experience in regards to working hours, equipment and bureaucracy during my first month.


If you find any mistakes or see room for improvements please let me know.


Background: Microsoft stopped developing this SDK September last year¹. Right now they are suggesting to use the OpenCensus project². IMO this is too big of a framework if my only use case is to send a few metrics to Application Insights. Furthermore it does not support all features (e.g. tracking availability).

Does anybody have a good source for power prices per country that I could integrate into the application? I want to give the user a default for the ct/kWh value based on his location.
