- Help needed! I am trying to create an extension where the extension UI (the HTML) loads beside the resized page rather than a popup. Is this possible?

For your next side project, make a browser extension
If you don't want to actually write the code and deal with the browser webstores, you can also use an "extension builder" tool like https://www.pixiebrix.com/ to call APIs, move data around, and build simple UIs.

any tools to help navigate site you are embedding / read information from?
We have some logic here for parsing tables to JSON: https://github.com/pixiebrix/pixiebrix-extension/blob/main/src/utils/parseDomTable.ts (code is AGPL). Given a table, it can detect the table orientation and parse most table structures.

I was enthusiastic enough about extensions that I decided to publish a book about building them: https://www.buildingbrowserextensions.com/
Browser extensions are severely underrated as a platform because they aren't sexy. For all that mobile devices have given us, so much of our work continues to be done using a desktop browser. Enhancements such as augmenting websites with widgets, supplying contextual information, and automating repetitive tasks using the authenticated session - when applied appropriately - can save someone hours every day.

Ask HN: What weird technical scene are you fond/part of?
Browser extensions. Not quite a website, not quite a mobile app, and surprisingly pervasive. Most people don't realize how incredibly powerful they are, even with manifest v3.
I almost fell out of my chair when I found out there were no books on how to build them, so I wrote one: https://www.buildingbrowserextensions.com/ It was incredibly enjoyable to go through the APIs and write about all the different crazy things they can do.
