Lately, I have been coming across a lot of really cool crypto projects that seem to get very little coverage in the ProductHunt community. They have a crypto topic but I think we are getting to a point where there is so much going on in the crypto space it might justify a daily list of it's own.

The purpose of this bookmarklet is to provide a streamlined method of getting the selector without having to go into the source or use chrome tools.

There is also the problem of using ids. For example in Flutter I may want to auto tweet out the top post in a list of posts on a blog. If the posts have individual ids, and the CSS selector includes them, every time Flutter tries to scrape new content it will get the same post. I want the unique selector for the page element. i.e. the first post in the list.

I use Selector Gadget too and I was recommending users of Flutter use it to get selectors. However, I'm trying to make the process of getting a unique selector for any element so simple it won't put anyone off. This bookmarklet avoids the need to deselect things and once an element is selected it's just a case of CMD/CTRL + C.

Hi all,

Flutter makes it possible to tweet out, on a recurring schedule, any dynamic content on the web. On a previous project, I wanted to automatically tweet out the oil price on a recurring schedule. Yes, I could have built a one-off solution for this but I thought it might be cool to make it a generic reusable tool. I think it has some potential as a type of growth hacking / social media automation tool but would like to see what everyone else thinks.

I've had the same problem. I tried using Basecamp, Trello cards, and spreadsheets, but none really helped organize my thoughts how I wanted. What I did want was somewhere I could define ideas, define tests / hypotheses, and collect feedback so that I could see all this information in one space.

I ended turning this problem into a side project (leanlab.io) which you could checkout ;). I also know that Javelin are doing something similar with experiments (experiments.javelin.com).

I actually agree with everyone saying to be upfront with your employer. But in my own situation I don't think it is required. I work in the oil & gas industry as an engineer but build web apps on the side. My employers simply wouldn't see any real value to them in what I'm doing. Also my contract does not make any claims to ownership of things I build in my own time.

Thanks, I was hoping for some personal stories.

I'm at a stage where I've worked for a significant amount of time on one project outside work that hasn't really been successful. I'm now working on a few things and trying to validate the ideas with customers before building them out properly.

Thanks, this is along the lines of what I've been thinking. Although some have said to be upfront with your employer. My current employment is in an unrelated industry. I'm sure nothing good could come from letting my employers know that I'm working on something in my spare time. Especially when I can't be sure what I start will work.
