App that tracks prices on websites? in c/selfhosted
[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I used browser extension Distill in the past, it's pretty easy to use and it works well for detecting/tracking changes of the specific elements on the page. I think free version allows 25 local monitors.

I also just found this extension Automa, I've never used it, but it seems cool. Looks like a Tasker for your browser. And there are also a workflows that people share, I saw this one randomly, Scrap Google Suggest to SpreadSheet so I guess you could do a similar thing for prices.

I've already forgotten what this post even says in c/[email protected]

Is that exclusively ADHD thing though?

Any way to find out what causes my phone to freeze randomly? in c/[email protected]

Hahaha, I mean yeah, that could be a possibility too. Still, I'm curious if there is some kind of process manager/logger.

Any way to find out what causes my phone to freeze randomly? (lemmy.ml)
 

I’m too lazy to do a full reset of my phone, so I was wondering if there is a way to help me pinpoint what exactly happens when my phone freezes. I do have a decent amount of apps but non of those really run in the background (to my knowledge). I also do have a custom ROM so it could also be just a bug in it, but while the installation was still fresh, I haven’t experienced such freezes.

Would Logcat thingie be useful?

This is what I mean...Left is tchncs.de, right is Lemmy.ml

Edit: Also, trying to access those communities that don't appear in the search result for specific instance, gives this message

404: couldnt_find_community

UI feedback. Community names and display names (lemmy.ml)
 

Does anyone else think that community names and display names can end up looking really messy?

Example:

It can get even worse if the user has display name with multiple words and non standard characters. And if they don't have the display name set, then there is "@" before their username.

 

My suggestions would be...

For display names, limit them to one word, and disable special characters.

For community names, maybe do it like reddit did, and don't show the display name of the community, but rather just the name.
Display name should be still visible when u open the community page though.

I also think that having @before the names that haven't picked the display name is also unnecessary. At least I don't see much benefit in that. Maybe I'm wrong...

Finally, @instance.example, should be visually separated. For example, different font weight or color.

That would make it look something like this:

what web browser do you use and why? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Vivaldi, for it's customization and all the additional features, like RSS feed reader, Email client, Notes, Calendar, Reminders, Alarm, Translator...

I get that most people just want to be able to use the browser to surf the web, but I like everything that it offers, and I use majority of it's features.
