Thanks for the feedback! A cobrowsing demo app should be live in a few weeks. :)

Ajit from BrowserBox team here.

The core premise of BrowserBox and Mighty is similar - virtualize and run browsers on the server. Mighty is desktop app meant for end users. BrowserBox's API is for developers who can integrate it into apps or build custom apps using the platform. In the long run, one can potentially build a Mighty like app using BBX APIs. It is still early days and looking for active feedback from the community to see where it can go.

This is refreshingly fast! Definitely going to try typesense in my projects.

The article states, "The operation was carried out under local anesthesia." Without one, pain will make any hand movement near to impossible!

It is worth repeating: http://paulgraham.com/ineq.html

The linked homepage states that the latest update was in 2012: "Revamped interface with more consistent names, rewrote some parts, bugfixes.".

I love it too. Drag-n-drop and collapsing them makes managing tabs so much easier. Its hard to navigate tabs in a browser without it!

Streisand effect works on its own!

Don't ads create false memories[1] and consequently our behavior?

Using Sieve it is possible to monitor any kind of webpage. It should be possible to monitor websites that require you to log in to check updates too.

At its core, the essential work is to detect changes important to the user. Adding summarization techniques to further weed out the noise would be a very important improvement.

Liked this suggestion. Unfortunately the domain names getsiv.com and sivapp.com are taken.

Edit: siv.io could be nice.

Thats an excellent suggestion. We do have plans to modularize the browser component to offer browser as a web service.

It is not possible select content using iframes due to client-side security restrictions imposed by the browser.

Thanks for your kind words. The stack is a mix of both. Browser runs on the server and sends updates to the client via websocket. Then it is painted on the client. On the client-side a part of noVNC js library is used to capture input and is sent to the browser running on the server.

Ah IE5! It has been a very long wait. :) We are hard at work to launch Sieve. Optimistically we should be ready in a couple of months.

Thanks for the great feedback. :)

Getting started would certainly be much simple when using screenshot or page HTML for comparison. Sieve could do that too! More work needs to be done to make startup faster.

On the other hand having filtered text provides multiple advantages. The filtering becomes accurate. It can be used to compute rules to take conditional actions. Notifications delivery via email and SMS would make more sense as well.

Running a browser on server enables another cool function. User could record macro and run the macro when text satisfied a pre-condition.

Edit: typo

Thanks. I like sifter. Going to check if it is available.

Glad that you liked the concept. Wasn't aware of the unfortunate name collision. I am open to suggestions. Thanks!

Hello HN! I am excited to show Sieve. Its in alpha state and under active development.

Would appreciate your feedback. Checkout Visual Selector used to let user filter content from a webpage.

This is awesome! I haven't used an IDE for a long time now but LT has shown enough to convince me to use one.

Not pertinent to the discussion, but why does some of the links use http://google.com/url?q= prefix for redirecting URLs? Any advantage of doing so instead of directly linking to the posts?

I prefer https://github.com/jed/domo to create DOM elements in browser. Its output is a real DOM element whereas in pithy.js, its string.

> This puts less emphasis on "looking useful" as individuals and more on championing tasks to see their completion.

This is a very good approach. Separating task and people is key to getting things done. When things are getting tough for an individual, the team can rally behind.

Aren't they sentient? They are able to perceive and feel things.

I was expecting a twist in the plot. :)

The attribution text (partially visible) suggests the source to be CarAdvice.com. Interestingly, the image on attributed caradvice.com article has same image as the one in the linked article. CarAdvice in turn seems to have taken image from another blog[1] (as linked in the article) and added the attribution.

VPN and SSH[1] have been means of evasion. But there have been anecdotal evidence of "unstable" VPN[2] and SSH connections before.

I like it. Saw a similar approach in Firebug's domplate. dom-o looks cleaner.

I really like the pitch to "Reduce the number of moving parts" at the cost of small learning curve.

I too have found quite a few usable offers from lowendbox.com (LEB) and lowendtalk.com (LET). Searching the websites bring up quite a few attractive deals.

However it may be tricky to pick a good host. It is usually a good idea to look for past experiences before signing up. The community is active and helps make that decision: http://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/5136/best-leb-host-q3-2...
