Project mention: How to split Gatsby Build and Deploy GitHub actions | reddit.com/r/gatsbyjs | 2022-05-18
You could configure your actions to run on new tags (I highly recommend semantic release or similar) on the main branch to publish to GH releases, then on new tags on the prod branch, deploy from the release archive.

Project mention: What's the biggest missing piece of the puzzle in the self-hosted universe? | reddit.com/r/selfhosted | 2022-03-26
Because there's surely enough software available, right (i.e. susi.ai, Mycroft, Kalliope, DeepSpeech, leon, Jasper, Vosk or Genie)?
-

-
metrics
📊 An infographics generator with 30+ plugins and 200+ options to display stats about your GitHub account and render them as SVG, Markdown, PDF or JSON! (by lowlighter)
Metrics v3.22.0 has a wonderful io website that allows you to quickly toggle multiple widgets and preview a classic layout to see the capabilities of Metrics.
-
May be less relevant for your particular workflow (because npm-specific and because everything is internal for you), but I’m a big fan of an alternative in the auto-release-generation space: the combo of release-it and release-it-lerna-changelog, which give you the same kind of automation but don’t require specific git commit messages, because instead the combo uses the GH API and labels to generate the changelog. This is a muuuuuch nicer experience for external contributors, because it puts the responsibility for that back on maintainers instead.

Home-AssistantConfig
:house: Home Assistant configuration & Documentation for my Smart House. Write-ups, videos, part lists, and links throughout. Be sure to :star: it. Updated FREQUENTLY! (by CCOSTAN)

Solution like scrapfly.io performs very well, you can also try https://github.com/berstend/puppeteer-extra/tree/master/packages/puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth on your own but not really maintained anymore and detected
-
Project mention: Show HN: Pipedream 2.0 – AWS Lambda and Zapier alternative | news.ycombinator.com | 2022-04-07
-
Posting it here as I found this Javascript-based tool called Taiko - https://github.com/getgauge/taiko. Looking forward to do some automations for my chromium browser. If anyone is using this, could you please share how it has fared for you and have you mixed any of it's logic with autohotkey?
-
browser-fingerprinting
Analysis of Bot Protection systems with available countermeasures 🚿. How to defeat anti-bot system 👻 and get around browser fingerprinting scripts 🕵️♂️ when scraping the web?
So he here is a link to the original, true Github repo, so at least the author might get reimbursed via his affiliation links and get rightfully paid rather than just plagiarized by other proxy blogs - https://github.com/niespodd/browser-fingerprinting

Project mention: Baileys – TypeScript/JavaScript WhatsApp Web API | news.ycombinator.com | 2022-02-21
-
Project mention: SQLite cron-based backup (alternative to Litestream for simpler usecases) | news.ycombinator.com | 2022-05-15
Don't forget to stop writing to the database while doing the backup, otherwise you can run into an infinite loop if you write faster than sqlite3 .backup is doing the backup :D
Learned that the hard way when implementing sqlite3 backups on Gladys Assistant ( open-source home automation platform https://github.com/GladysAssistant/Gladys )
-
Why? That's an issue you should solve before going forward. You could install pyinstaller or auto-py-to-exe manually, but that will likely lead to further issues.

Ich auch. Das ist aber Homeassistant + https://github.com/kalkih/mini-graph-card

lowdefy
An open-source, self-hosted, low-code framework to build internal tools, web apps, admin panels, BI dashboards, workflows, and CRUD apps with YAML or JSON.

We take a different angle and believe that low code should still work like code. We focus on a developer first approach.

Project mention: Mobile E2E Tests in Build Pipeline: AppCenter, React Native, Cavy + Sendgrid Email Reporting | reddit.com/r/reactnative | 2021-09-20
Just to give you direction regarding DatePicker you can find the following issue in their repo on Github: https://github.com/pixielabs/cavy/issues/213 Guy uses "react-native-modal-datetime-picker" which uses "react-native-community/datetimepicker" underhood, so maybe it would be better to ask there.
-
Project mention: Automating a render using information entered into a website | reddit.com/r/AfterEffects | 2022-04-21
I have setup something similar where data is entered into a web form and an is image selected from a series of dropdown menus. This was done by sending the form data as a json to a server running Nexrender which communicates the data to my computer with the after effects template.
