I wrote a simple app to send interesting articles and web pages to my email inbox - https://www.emailthis.me

I'd like to plug in a small tool that I run. It's called EmailThis and it brings bookmarking/read-later functionality(similar to Pocket and Instapaper) to your email inbox.

This is really interesting. Thanks for all the effort you've put into this project.
I had one quick question - how easy/difficult would it be to integrate another JS library with intercooler or htmlx. For example, let's say a table is fetched dynamically via htmlx, how would we go about integrating a library that does client-side table sorting/filtering?

I use Puppeteer at https://www.emailthis.me for scraping meaningful content from web pages and converting web pages to PDF.

Glad you found it useful.
I had sort of neglected it for a while, but during the course of the lockdown, I have started working on a major rewrite - replacing Gulp with Webpack, adding support for Edge, etc. Will release it soon :)

I've used this for building the browser extensions for my app [1].
It is simple, easy to understand and easy to reason with. However, I would recommend this only for small apps. As soon as your app's features/complexity increases, you end up writing a lot of biolerplate code that libraries like Vue or Preact already handle you for.

I'd like to add a couple of resources that I've found useful -
1. All courses by Will Sentance on Frontend Masters
2. Eloquent JavaScript

I made "Ansible Rails" - a playbook for easily deploying Ruby on Rails applications
Comment · 6 years ago
Postmark/Sendgrid for emails
Digital Ocean or Heroku for hosting
Skylight for application monitoring
Sentry for error tracking
Cloudflare for caching
S3 for storage

Thanks for sharing this great collection. I've just added your 'remove sticky' bookmarklet.
In case anyone is wondering, bookmarklets also work on mobile devices. You can simply go to the address bar and type the name of the bookmarklet (e.g.: 'remove sticky') and then click the option that shows up in the list.
Adding them to your mobile browser is a bit tricky though. I've written a small guide that helps users of my app [0] add my bookmarklet to Android/iOS devices. You can follow these steps/screenshots to add other bookmarklets - https://www.emailthis.me/web-page-to-email/how-to-save#andro...

I've been using Heroku to deploy my Rails apps but I always wanted to learn how it all works under the hood. Over the last couple of months, I decided to learn more about how to set up a server and deploy a Rails app to production. I've made this open-source project to consolidate my learning.
This Ansible playbook includes roles for performing the following tasks -
* Installation of common packages
* Ruby (via rbenv)
* Rails 6, Puma, Sidekiq
* Redis
* Nodejs/Webpack/yarn
* Postgresql + saving daily backups to S3
* Install Puma, nginx & Certbot (for Letsencrypt SSL Certs)
* Deploying using Ansistrano
Let me know what you guys think about it.

Good idea! I am always happy to see more tools come up around the email inbox. Few suggestions -
1. Your privacy page is empty.
2. Instead of asking me to enter a feed URL during signup, you could just start with the email, and then on the next screen, you could show me your list of feed suggestions. I think that would simplify the signup flow.
All the best!
Shameless plug: I run a similar tool called EmailThis [0] that brings bookmarking (similar to Pocket and Instapaper) to your email inbox.

I am also a big fan of Print to PDF. I've actually built a simple bookmarking service [0] that does just this.
EmailThis extracts meaningful content from web pages and sends it to your email inbox. You can also tell it to save a PDF copy of each page, in which case the PDF is sent as an attachment.
Print-to-Pdf is done using Headless Chrome (so it works exactly like doing a Ctrl-P).
I find that the Print to PDF works best because it gives you a copy of the web page even if the original one disappears. Also, none of the content extraction services (mine included) work in 100% of the cases. Sometimes, they might incorrectly remove images and other meaningful content. So in such cases, having a full PDF snapshot is quite handy.
Let me know what you guys think.
