awesome-uses VS metascraper

https://uses.tech/

Taking the time to add some /about, /ideas /now, and /uses to be on these directories doesn't take very long, can recommend.

Found this:

Not a lot of history that I see at first blush, but I didn't look terribly hard. FWIW, Google "uses page" turns up a few other results as well.

This is just a simple page which features where people can learn more about me setup, software, and configuration. I debated moving this to the footer instead of keeping it in the navbar, but the new trend of uses pages on developer portfolios made me include this in the navbar.

Hahaha, yeah, a friend of mine had the same complaint. It's supposed to be this type of page, but I should probably just remove it.

awesomedevtools and /uses are two good ones.

Yep but there is a fallback to metascraper [0] which does check the HTML tags. However the fallback didn't work in case GPT returns a 1970 date -- I just fixed this! [1]

I think you can now remove the date from your post content and it should still work. If you submit your website again it should do a re-scrape if you changed the content text. Thanks for catching this :)

I am using this library https://github.com/microlinkhq/metascraper but it doesn't catch it.

First of all, we'll use the got npm package to fetch the website content (feel free to use any other fetching library), and the metascraper npm package to extract the metadata:

> After that, pricing starts at $25 per month for up to 15,000 requests.

This is very expensive for any decent usage. I have used tools like metascraper for this purpose and it worked pretty well. Setup just requires throwing a tiny nodejs app on a raspberry pi or $5 server and that can handle tons of requests.
