Cool concept - maybe make it a little more different than the Numbers API. Actually see a lot of potential based on how interested people are in short-form fun facts and knowledge. Good luck!

Haha love the URL. Great concept - will use. Just an idea, I get anxious looking at the time ticking like that. Maybe run the clock in the background but for the UI, show a color gradient slowing shifting as time winds down or something less harsh? Great job!
Thx! Mostly small content creators / product reviewers.
Thx for letting me know. Were you able to try out the tool?
thanks! yes, will add that soon.
hmm I don't think it's hijacked.
Hi, I’m Warren and I’m building Shelf (https://getshelf.app/) - the easy way to turn any product URL into an affiliate links.

Basically, the old way to making affiliate links is: reach out to brands you want to work with, hope they respond, then pray you get into their affiliate program. Not much success here unless you’re already famous.

Shelf makes it easy for small content creators (or anyone) to get started with affiliate marketing / links with our 10 second sign up process. With Shelf, if you simply found a product you love, you can earn money by sharing that link with followers and friends.

Right now, we can generate affiliate links from any Amazon or Shopify product, and pay commission directly to Venmo (we’re adding more payment methods right now).

Let me know if you have questions or feedback - Thanks!

Supports Amazon / Shopify links.

Easy sign up compared to other affiliate programs I know of. Most programs require some vetting process.

Payments directly to Venmo.

Don't know if this is a new idea but I worked on it anyway.

Re:Extract data from any document layout on Thursday February 09, 2023 @04:13AM (#34721466)
docparser and most ocr services require the document layout be the same/similar for each template you make.

extractio doesn't require the user to make any templates and can be used for any generic document layout.

A perfect use case for extractio would be resumes - candidates submit many different resume layouts, but it would be able to parse out the name, positions, email, etc. without making a template for each layout.
