I use Pocket quite a bit.

I've also recently cobbled together a CLI tool that lets me save discussion threads on Reddit, HN and Stack Exchange. Very much a beginner-level project but here it is in case anyone is interested:

Hello HN. sammelband.app is a hobby project written in Javascript that I started recently after stumbling upon Mozilla's Readability library. It is a web app that takes one or more URLs and extracts the relevant content from each web page to a single document, which can then be downloaded to your device or sent to your email. Pocket integration is available, and I plan to add integrations with other bookmarking services.

How useful is this? Honestly, I'm not sure, but I've learned a ton about web dev during the month I spent on this. There's also a special joy in seeing something I kludged together in my free time live on the Internet.

Source code:

https://github.com/PizzaMyHeart/sammelband-frontend [front-end]

(I'm not a professional dev, so please forgive me if the code makes your eyes bleed.)

Any feedback is much appreciated!

There's also https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc for for summaries of product characteristics but I'm not sure if there's an API or dataset.

Thanks for the kind words!

Will do that, thank you!

I've noticed that too, which is strange because some entries are rendered fine (e.g. Names of bacteria in the antibiotic entries). I'll have to poke around and find out what's wrong.

Thanks!

Will do, thanks a bunch!

Yeah the category is taken directly from the Drugbank dataset, which can be rather specific and arbitrary. I'll see if there's a summary like you suggest that I could use instead.

Thanks very much for the feedback :)

Someone else suggested including a disambiguation to highlight synonyms, which should be helpful in cases like codeine/heroin.

Thanks for the helpful advice re unit tests!

Yep, I'd planned to use something like autocomplete.js but that's something I'll explore after I've cleaned up the core python functionality. Thanks!
