Idea: Website Scraper UI Helper

Provide 2 primary views:

  1. Page Load & View

This view consists of a top pane (10% height) and a main pane (90% height). In the top pane, provide a form where the user can enter a URL. In the main pane, display the webpage. This is the basic pattern of a web browser. Thus, this functionality can probably be abstracted away by making the website a plugin.

  1. Isolate & Refine

Enable the user to automatically preview a selection that they can express using a form.
The basic goal is to isolate the pattern of records, if possible.

Enjoyed this? — any BSV wallet, HandCash, or plain old dollars.

Leave a tip

Tips go directly to a Bitcoin SV address I control — peer to peer, no platform in between. A few thousand satoshis is a fraction of a cent; it's the gesture that counts.

From any BSV wallet

Scan the QR code with your wallet's camera, or copy the address.

With HandCash or any paymail wallet

Paymail is an email-style address for Bitcoin wallets. Send any amount to afomi@handcash.io

First time using Bitcoin? Yours Wallet is an open-source browser extension wallet, and HandCash is an easy mobile wallet — either takes a minute to set up.
