I recently bought a Lotus Elise and have set up a small website to collect most of the things new owners need to know about the car - https://lotus-center.vercel.app/

Kikobeats | 1 year ago | on: Ask HN: I have many PDFs – what is the best local way to leverage AI for search?
You can use Microlink to turn PDF into HTML, and combine it with other service for processing the text data.
Here an example turning a arxiv paper into real text:
https://api.microlink.io/?data.html.selector=html&embed=html...
It looks like PDF, but it you open devtools you can see it's actually a very precise HTML representation.

For getting the HTML, you can use microlink, just passing the URL to https://html.microlink.io/{url}, like https://html.microlink.io/https://example.com

Kikobeats | 6 years ago | on: Show HN: Microlink screenshot – Turn websites into snapshots
That's a thing I've working for a while after evaluating some similar services out there that don't fit all the things I needed.
Q: Yet another Screenshot as a service?
Yes! but you will find this one is completely different.
Q: Why is this different?
What makes it stand out from the rest is the server-side solution: the screenshot image will be served from a CDN, being available globally and you won’t have to worry about downloading or storing it.
Q: Why is this better?
This allows the service to provide some extra things there, like automagically refreshing the screenshot after a time: this means the screenshot always reflects the content behind the target URL .
Q: Will the screenshot be fancy?
So fancy.
Microlink screenshots support browser overlay (light and dark theme) and custom background color or gradient .
Q: How configurable is it?
You can hide, click, wait or scroll to elements. Also, you can emulate a list of 71 devices. The screenshot can be full page and the output can be PNG or JPEG.
Q: Can you block trackers, popups, etc?
Sure, this is done by default.
Q: Cookie banners as well?
Yes, specially cookie banners .
Q: Sounds good, but what about pricing?
It starts at $0. The API has a daily rate limit; If you reach it and you need more, you can jump to a pro plan, they are intentionally cheap.
Q: How can I be sure all this is true?
We did a comparison table of similar services and what kind of features they offer: http://bit.ly/saasforscreenshot

Kikobeats | 8 years ago | on: microlink.io, get relevant information from any website
Hello,
microlink.io is a service for getting relevant information from any website.
with him, you can easily convert your links into beautiful previews. Similar to Facebook URLs on timeline or cards on Twitter/Medium, but out of the box.
This is an example using microlink into my Jekyll blog:

We built microlink.js to make the integration easy from the frontend side:
WordPress integration is coming; feel free to suggest one as well!
