What are some of your current projects?

[BobbyBummbleBee]

What's everyone working on? Just trying to get a pulse on the community here. After reading through a bunch of threads it seems like this is a pretty diverse crowd. Since I'm trying to grow as a dev (currently very poorly) I'm trying to see how others are working through their growing pains.

So I'll start project wise. I'm mostly working on python based scraping solutions (proxy switching +/screen grabs/ocr based searching/lang trans):

Github: profile vcard scrapper (w/ auth and w/out - email), location and lang based searches, CVE w/ PoC
News: CVE matched w/ PoC (Proof of Concept), basic client side paywall *stuff*, Article scrapping with format and basic AI (openAI playground) rewritting.
Random: metrics meddling (social media views)

It seems like there are million different methods to skin a cat with scrapping. Currently I'm using a headless browser vs requests more often then not but its really requirements based.

Anyhow hope this gets the ball rolling....

Currently I`m working with Firebase and Vue/React frameworks, doing real-time application in different areas (marketplaces, social media apps/sites). So SPA and PWA in the most, but also I`m playing with pure JS, doing some games on canvas, just for fun and for some more OOP experience.
Also I`m diveing into some automation apps with AI, scrappers etc...

I do a lot of work in C/C++ and optimization with a focus on developer tools and code analysis. On the side, I develop web-based frontends to manage my computers and servers.

How do you like React? Some guys I know use it for a content management project their on.

Any embedded stuff?

I've been messing with writing "pentesting" tools for the M5StickC-Plus (https://github.com/m5stack/M5StickC-Plus)

For me it`s Vue > React > Angular. React is more popular and has bigger ecosystem and possibilities to integrate, but I prefer Vue, because it`s intuative and easy to work with, principles are almost the same (state managment, routing, css framework support, SSR and so on). I`ve started with React, but then switched to Vue (composition API). No reason to struggle, but maybe it`s easier to find work being React dev and one more thing is React Native for mobile apps, Vue doesn`t have such option.

Yeah out of my scope but cool none the less. Any tips for quick API "detection"? I still remember the first time I started ingesting data via api vs just crawling/scraping... night and day difference.

I run a wp plugin and some content websites.

Yeah... tell me more... never made a wp plugin how hard was it and was it worth the effort? I've never been able to turn a profit with the websites.

Any embedded stuff?

Nope. It's almost all targeted at the x86_64 CPUs and Linux though, so it's not really portable. I used to do Win32 programming a long time ago but haven't done much since the mid 2000s.

Automate my daily used scripts and optimize their runtime and automation in general.
App development or DB's will be my next stop to improve.

I need to sit down and learn flask and start sticking together that webgui with a DB... I pump a lot of my data from scraps into a mongoDB... but I'm mostly sending it to a dir and doing the "analysis" from there.

How are you automating and what sort of tasks?

Putting the time to study Flask and DB will help you in the long run, good luck and give it time & patience.

How are you automating and what sort of tasks?

Using Python, scraping and sending to clients, servers check-ups and reports. The rest is manual/in development.
