Anyone know where such websites get their data? I'm looking for an API for Netflix that would let me list all movies that have specific subtitles available. Netflix.com/browse/subtitles only shows a limited amount of movies.

How does one approach companies for consulting when it's process improvement? I have a product for a specific industry I'm part of, it needs to be adopted company wide as it touches on all departments. Ideally, a company would let me spend a few days to understand their processes, and I'd tell them how they can improve.

I would do the discovery phase for free, but I'm not sure how to phrase it. I fear using the word free, as I feel that changes the dynamics. And would set expectation for a cheap product down the line.

That sounds like a valid approach, any idea what tools I could use to get the define the area and get the screenshot?

I prefer something I can install locally (doesn't need to be open source). I'm trying to extract text from a PDF at a certain position, the PDF is indeed text not an image so OCR isn't strictly needed.

The goal is to draw a box using GUI, then use those coordinates to extract text from several homogeneous pages.

I also have a different goal of trying to interpret structure of a PDF that has visual structure (headers, sections and subsections all numbered). But that seems to lend itself to some sort of text parsing.

Somewhat offtopic, do you know of a library that would allow me to select an area of a PDF through a GUI and only read the text in those coordinates?

Do you have a static IP at home? How does your cloudflare setup work?

Zapier looks like a app trigger. I'm looking for more of a task management system.

Does anyone have recommendation for a non-software dev environment? e.g. user task workflow management. I'm looking for a fully fledged product and/or an API backend.

I would venture to say this is an April fools joke
