I posted a Show HN post recently. It has not had a single glance of interest. I think it is dead now anyway. I've spent months on the project I posted, but no interest from anyone.
I've used it to read authenticated pages with Chromium.
It can be run as a headless browser and convert the HTML to markdown, but I generally open Chromium, authenticate to the system, then allow the CLI agent to interact with the page.
I put an unsecured open FTP server on the internet about 20 years ago, just to see what would happen.
Within half a day I had some pirate "marking" his claim to my FTP server, then he/she started uploading a game. I deleted everything and left it open again.
It was a long time ago, so I don't remember all the details, but all the pirates would create directories inside directories, upload files, then mark it with their mark. All of this was scripted I gather.
After a while, I set up a file system watcher that deleted subdirectories. This gave me an FTP server I could use for anything. I shut it down a few months later.
- Open the ODF documents, review, edit, save (human involved is important)
- Use a bash script running LibreOffice CLI to convert ODF documents to PDF
- Review the PDFs
- Manually click the apply button on the site and upload the documents
I also keep a spreadsheet with the details for each job I apply for so I can track interactions, think CRM for job applications and recruiters. This could be automated, however, I got a job so have lost interest.
Points of interest:
- Markdown is a fantastic format in general, but for LLMs as prompts and documents, it's awesome.
- If you just curl the page html, you don't get the recruiters email addresses in most cases, hence the use of Puppeteer.
- Having all the artefacts saved on disk is important for review before and after the application, including adding notes.
- By using an Autobiography that is extreme in detail, the LLM can add anything and everything about you to the documents.
- Use Grok and support Elon. OpenAI can stick their "Open" where it fits.
- I don't end up having to format the documents that are generated as ODF files, they look great.
I can apply for around 10 to 20 jobs in a day if I try hard. Most of the time it is around 5 because I am doing other things. They are only jobs I'm interested in though, and I can customise the documents. Also, If I am applying for a job that includes AI, I add a note at the bottom stating it has been generated by an LLM and customised.
There's probably more interesting points, but you get the idea.
My TODO list includes a CLI switch to only open the page in a Firefox profile so I can authenticate to the page. This removes the stupid "automate auth on ever job site" issue. Simply authenticate and keep the cookie in the hunter profile.
The repo is private for the time being, but I could make it public.
Some haven't been updated for a while. Try the "software-evaluation.md" prompt, it's one of my best. I use it often. Use the bin/gp script to get them into your clipboard.
No, it's related to Astigmatism. The eye lens gets distorted. Bright light shrinks the pupil, meaning the light goes through less of your lens and hence is not as distorted.
That's what the "Workspaces" are. Create a workspace, go into the settings then "Chat Settings" and configure the Prompt. There are more configurations available.
I only have two minor complaints with AnythingLLM:
1. No light mode (why does everyone want dark mode, it sucks for anyone older than 30)
2. It's electron
Using it I don't need skills, memory, subagents, a specific agent CLI. It defines roles, tasks, context out of the box.
I made it for me and my family though. I don't expect interest outside of that.
