This as a Jellyfin plugin would be awesome!


Do a lot of scraping at work. Curious how you handle simulating UI interactions? Or if I can supply cookies in my requests?


I really want something like this that will work for pages behind a login. Would love it for my bank and credit card transactions all in one place, without having to use a 3rd party data mining service.


Love that goalkeeper line. 100% my experience with so many SaaS companys.

@netlify I hope you see this. You are terrible at the buyer-pull. We want log shipping, but to get that, we have to go into the "enterprise" tier... We are a startup with very little money, and what is log shipping worth to us? Not hundreds a month. Honestly it's worth a little less than whatever the cost of us moving to Vercel is (where log shipping is not part of enterprise).

So now I've now been through multiple sales emails from them trying to get me on a call to "discuss how we can help you" which I know is just going to be Netlify trying to upsell me into a bunch of "enterprise" features we don't need. Just tell me the price and let me click a button to enable it!


This looks like exactly what I need, but our DB is Postgres on Supabase and I don’t think their version supports transaction locking…


Well, you don't need to worry. Sidequest only locks the rows it's gonna use, i.e., the job rows it manages. Any other data in your DB is not touched by Sidequest, so you should be safe :)


Would love to be able to have this buy my the flight at an optimal purchase time. Like I say “LAX to JFK for Jan 10th to Jan 15th, between $400 and $600” and it will wait until that is seen and then buy for me. That would be a real new feature.


why would you ever set a minimum price? If you're looking for a certain service level just have it look for that. Otherwise I'd be worried you'd miss out on a flight that fits all your criteria but costs $385 or something


Calling it 'scheduled booking'. It's on the roadmap :)


You can set up alerts using Google flights that will email you when prices change

I save thousands using this feature each year


I like that feature! But now I’m wondering if Google is selling that data back to airlines.


Maybe; BonBook never will.

As a fan, I’d say these guys are doing some incredible things. If you have a fit here, I encourage you to apply.


As the poor sap who’s had to build lots of these types of sites, I’ll tell you that it’s not the devs that want this. It’s the damn client that keeps complaining about the “gravity” or the “momentum” or the “scroll speed” of the site. Locomotive.JS being the main thing clients want us to use… no amount of explanation of all your valid points will persuade them if “this one cool site we like had it”.

I will say this… the scroll speed being different between Chrome, Safari and Firefox doesn’t help our cause… wish these were normalized at the very least so we can avoid “it feels better in X, but we use Y browser” notes.

Allowing an easing function API for scroll would be a middle ground I could live with. It’s better than what we have now (a bunch of award winning sites emulating scroll with translates).


At my agency we probably build two custom sites a month. We used to do this with PHP WordPress templates, then we moved to Nuxt server side rendered on Node (Heroku), but now we are all static site Nuxt on Netlify and it’s SO MUCH better. Headless WordPress as backend. As long as you/client can deal with the build times it’s fantastic from a speed, SEO and uptime POV. Also just way cheaper to host it. Incremental Static Generation seems like the ideal solution, looking forward to that with Nuxt 3.


You are actually running a Wordpress site with a reverse proxy cache with forever TTLs. The fact that the cache is implemented as HTML on a file system is incidental. You could deliver the same speed, SEO, and uptime with any such technology, such as putting a regular Wordpress site behind Cloudflare or Fastly with forever TTLs and running a cache warming script.
