krakaukiosk··on Show HN: Simple Micro-Survey Widgets
Thank you!

To be honest, some of them are still in the making. Deployed and accessible are right now Zapier, Segment, Slack & Webhooks.

The other integrations are powered through Segment or Zapier for the moment, but they'll be native integrations pretty soon I hope.

Tabula is a great tool. In my experience it's the most reliable open source software for extracting tables from PDFs. We are using their underlying Tabula-Java library for some parts of https://docparser.com and are happily sponsoring their project.

OP here. Thanks for all the feedback so far!

I just disabled the navigation via pushState as it seems to be buggy on iOS devices. I'll put some more time on this and test it properly.

Regarding the questions with the OR/AND search. Yes, it's an OR by default but you can either force or remove ingredients by clicking on the star icon. In case you are just searching by OR, recipes with a higher "match rate" should appear on top. I clearly need to rework this part as it doesn't seem to be intuitive.

Again, thanks for the feedback!

great write-up, thanks!
krakaukiosk··on Show HN: mailparser.io - extract data from inbound emails
Hi Bryan,

thanks a lot for testing it and giving some feedback! I really appreciate it.

The whole idea is based on exactly the assumption you mentioned: there are a lot of businesses who are stuck with clunky workflows of copy&pasting data. But who do I tell, you know that.

Regarding your issue with the extractor UI: Your screenshot is showing the second out of three steps. The purpose of this step is to refine the data selected in the first step. If you are sending html emails (with dom elements like h1, links, tables etc.) you can directly select the data in the first step with your mouse. So you don't need to refine the whole email body in the second step.

thanks for pointing this out, we will surely improve our copy regarding your feedback!

To answer your question meanwhile: mailgun provides an API for developers who want to route incoming emails to their app. mailparser.io however tries to target the tech-savvy businness owner who wants to automate his email workflow, notable who wants to extract data from repetive automated emails. We see mailparser.io more in the corner of zapier and ifttt.
