For the first time since I don't know when I need a CV, so I hacked a simple Next.js app. The layout is print-friendly, so you can use it as your website or just use it to generate PDFs. Maybe you'll find it useful as well.

thanks for feedback everyone!
changes i'm gonna make:
1. allow to configure & print calendars directly from the website - here I anticipate I'll spot some cross browser hell but we'll see how that works
2. i'll add habit trackers - something very much wip is visible under https://useminimal.com/habit-trackers
3. i'll think about weekly calendars and planners
once I have more themes I'll add a paywall with one time payment to access everything with no time limit ie. every year you'd be able to generate new calendars etc. the 'simple' theme will be always free, maybe more
Regarding start of the week, will do that, I think browsers added support for checking that recently. Sorry folks, 99% of the world uses Monday ;)
yeah it was hacked quickly together. Eventually I'll make it possible to just save as pdf from the browser but for now, if you don't feel like leaving the email is an option, use some temp email service. I'm from Pl, yes
do you mean that week starts with Sun?
not yet, I'll open source it eventually though. what language you'd like to see?
I'm sorry you feel that way. It was just easy to put that thing on Lemon Squeezy to see if there are people willing to pay for this. If you don't want to put your real email use something like this -
https://temp-mail.org/. many people do, it's ok.
do you have any sketch of how this could look like? I'd be happy to build it! and thank you, it's still very early version though
just put 0 where the price is and and you'll get the link via email, no payment needed :)
good point. i'm not sure if I ever gonna try to monetize this but it should be fairly easy to add it, will do
I built a calendar generator with TS and headless Chrome so I can print my own stuff. Plan to add more in the future. Let me know what do you think!
It's all free.

I'm working on this as we speak.
That's good to know, thank you! Is there anything I can do to make Monito worth adding to your toolset? Have you tried it? Thanks!
It'd require storing user login data. For now, I'm not planning this, but we'll see what the future brings.
Sure,
https://www.dropbox.com/s/zffejt4u2l5d3x1/logs-1620070042074...When you are extracting logs, it creates a single archive with all the items you selected. Usually, it'll be:
1. Combined logs - everything in a single file
2. Network logs
3. Console logs
4. User interactions
5. Navigation events
One user already suggested it'd be nice to include generated HTML with more human-readable logs. I thought about having a web-based log reader, but this seems to be an even better idea.
At this point the price is 39$ because the product itself isn't polished yet. Now I can see it's actually needed and I'm going to add some nice features. Then it'll go up to ~59$ as it won't be an 'early access' anymore.
Good point about credibility. I'm going to improve the landing page with a proper about page. I'll also add a privacy policy. From the start, I wanted it to work 100% locally, so I don't have to worry about sensitive data. Now it only uses some ids needed for trials and licenses.
About pricing, I don't think that model would be better. As a solo developer, it's better to charge more and provide better support to fewer customers. I'm not saying no, but it seems to be working well for now. Thank you for the suggestions!
That's interesting. I'll add that to my to-do and think about possible solutions. Thank you!
Thank you! Regarding usage demo, do you mean something like video explaining what this tool can do and how is it better than existing solutions?
Now I know people are interested in this so I'll be looking into adding more browsers support. I _think_ Firefox is doable. Safari most probably not (nobody cares probably, but still).
Valid point. I started noticing Tailwind UI everywhere, and it starts to be a bit annoying indeed. Will def work on it.
We'll see about the price. So far, it sells ok. I'd rather focus on improving the quality and adding useful features.
Regarding the icons, I've just noticed and fixed that, thank you!
I agree. The landing page isn't the nicest one. I'm not a designer, though, and I'd rather spend that time improving the product. Is there anything you'd like to see in the extension that'd convince you to pay for it? Happy to improve!
Thank you! And yes, it's all JSON. It's not super easy to read when you get all the data this way, though. I'm planning to add a web-based log reader to parse the logs and display them in the same way it's done in the extension.
Also, generating Cypress/Puppeteer/Playwright tests is on my to-do list. It should be fairly easy because all the data, including selectors, is already there. I wrote more about my plans here: https://jarocki.me/blog/monito
Regarding state of the art for browser automation scripts, I think the most popular tools are Cypress and Puppeteer. I'd like to get some feedback from QA folks, though.
