Ask HN: What was an interesting project you started and finished over a weekend?
I built a website that takes online recipe pages and just returns the main recipe in plain text. https://www.plainoldrecipe.com

Wait, What's a Bookmarklet?
Bookmarklets are great in mobile browsers. This is handy if you want to avoid writing an extension for a simple script.
I use a bookmarklet I wrote all the time to remove the extra content from online recipes: https://github.com/kevlened/foodmarklet
It’s based on https://github.com/poundifdef/plainoldrecipe, but it works entirely in the client.

Don't Fuck with Paste
I use this similar but even older tool, which still works. This one is Mac-specific but works across most/all apps, i.e. not a browser plugin.

Wait, What's a Bookmarklet?
Force pasting is something that is unfortunately required in many places, not just the browser. For example a Citrix session where the Citrix admin decided that pasting was a security risk and hence blocked it. Or some very poorly written apps.
For all of these I use an apple script that emulates typing one letter at a time, with a small delay because Citrix can't deal with typing which is too fast.
It's based on Force Paste: https://github.com/EugeneDae/Force-Paste
I invoke it with a shortcut (Alfred on macOS for example) and it's a life saver multiple times a day. Weirdly satisfying to watch happening =)
