Scrapy-Splash vs Selenium Actual Comparison?
As for Splash, its main benefits are being smaller (as it uses QtWebkit instead of a full-blown real-world browser; this is also sometimes a drawback) and being better integrated in the Scrapy flow (as working with it means sending HTTP requests, not making synchronous API calls to a library like with Selenium). It's also deployed as a single docker image with an HTTP interface. For scaling see e.g. https://github.com/scrapinghub/splash/blob/master/splash/examples/splash-haproxy.conf

Getting Started with Splash in Docker
Splash is a javascript rendering service. I don't have much idea what this service actually is. All I know is the service is one of many tools that could help me scrapping sites that needs javascript to run and enabled. And Splash could work well along with Scrapy, the web scrapping framework that I currently learn about. And as always, If this service can be done installed using Docker then I would give a try the docker way.

I wrote an AppImage ebuild - should it be unpacked on install?
DESCRIPTION="Free and open source note taking app, compatible with Evernote sync server" HOMEPAGE="https://github.com/robert7/nixnote2"

Creating ebuild from binary deb from launchpad.net
Building from source is a problem, because currently this software uses qtWebkit - that dependency is not available neither in the main Portage tree nor Guru, maybe in the future they will migrate to QtWebEngine.
