GeneralStrike··on Ask HN: What is your home office setup like?
I've got a desk with one monitor in an office space I share with my partner, but I still end up working on my laptop from the couch pretty regularly because it's so cosy :)

My back and writs protest.

My partner (life-partner and business partner) and I have been running a version of this for not-for-profit groups for years now, but we finally got our business version out, for anyone to use.

Although we're both paid devs now, we learned to code specifically for this project, and it's been our labour of love. It's a completely bootstrapped project, that we've been working on outside our paid hours.

If you take minutes in your work or in a community organisation, we'd love to hear what you think.

GeneralStrike··on Show HN: Elemental – Faster and easier Selenium automation for Python
Docs: https://elemental.readthedocs.io PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/elemental/

What: A wrapper for Selenium, written in Python. The docs have mini tutorials to get you set up with Pytest or Behave.

Why: Raw selenium is a little unwieldy and fragile for our needs, and the other wrappers we tried didn't quite fit the bill. We had difficulty understanding the code bases well-enough to contribute, so we figured we'd make our own.

Elemental allows you to easily switch back to raw selenium as needed, and has simple, clear documentation for coders of any experience level.

Contributions: It's a small and accessible code base of 350 lines of Python, we've got more comments than code, and 100% test coverage. We welcome contribution from developers of any skill level.
