gavino··on Example.com just launched the biggest redesign in decades
Really funny coincidence, I noticed amazon wasn't loading a couple hours ago. Thought it was my internet so went to example.com to check and noticed the redesign. Figured it was a while ago though.

gavino··on Show HN: CoolQLCool – Turn Websites into GraphQL Accessible APIs
Sure! The backend is actually pretty straight forward, it's a NextJS app deployed on Now with a few added endpoints to handle the incoming GraphQL queries.

Then for actually turning the query into a digestable output I used the GraphQL schema builder that handles accepts HTML nodes from the requested page and grabs the right variables.

I remember seeing GDOM a while back when I first started this project, but forgot to write it down as a source of inspiration. I'm gonna add all of these as alternatives, because they're all great :D

gavino··on Show HN: Jam API, turn any site into a JSON api using CSS selectors
It doesn't currently do that, I think it'd be an interesting challenge to try and do that though. It's definitely possible to do.
gavino··on Show HN: Jam API, turn any site into a JSON api using CSS selectors
I had been trying to figure out what would be causing this issue, thanks for pointing it out, I've pushed a fix real quick that will respond whether JSON is invalid or a CSS selector wasn't found on the provided URL.
gavino··on Show HN: Jam API, turn any site into a JSON api using CSS selectors
Regarding the "index" key, there are some JSON parsers for languages like Swift that will rearrange your JSON. By adding the index key, you'll still be able to sort after parsing.

Also, thanks, it's really cool to see people liking this :)

Ah, yep, you're right, forgot to change the URL. Updated now. Thanks for letting me know.
