I have always been fascinated by live TV broadcasts from around the world. I created a website for it locally and have now released the code as open source. Please feel free to check it out on GitHub at github.com/tpkahlon/jackal.

The heroku deploy has limited free dyno capacity each day.

Recently, I created a project (https://cs1000.vercel.app) which is refined and ad free version of an article. Is it fine to build such side projects via web scraping? Do we need approval from site/entity involved?

No, without permission, this is theft if IP, and not ethical. With permission it would be fine, but scraping content and reposting it as your own is fairly crass.

It's better to post the original URL rather than a shortened one. HN can deal with long URLs

Sure, rectified, my apologies!

In an add-on not the appropriate choice?

Firefox permission model needs improvement?

(CSS has become too powerful, a simple style sheet with external reference can leak information about your browsing.)

Thank you for sharing this.

I wish there was an app that could serve during time of emergency crisis. Based on your city, province, country of location, it could provide you step by step guide of handling next course of action. Right away, it tells user what is their crisis location address which will be required by insurance, and 911. Users can have option to start audio recording in app background to monitor themselves after crisis that they can use as proof later on. Based on crisis location, app can predict nearest locations of recommended service centres, hospital, fire, police stations and emergency contact location. For long term, it could shape up like Waze where people could report where crisis happened, which guideline they followed post crisis, rate them so other readers can read, interact etc. It would be nice if app can ask a series of questions and can dispatch info to your insurance company, CAA towing service etc. For example, all preliminary questions can be asked by app like How many passengers in car, any serious injuries, health related questions, license info etc. Once that is complete, it automatically submits this data to insurance for starting a case and dispatching tow service by recommeded parties like CAA at one touch of fingertip. This same info can be saved as PDF for distributing it to Police at scene. An app in form of educating people in a guided way can put an end to this corrupt business. For a daily driver, app can behave like an antivirus reminding driver if they have completed all requirements for carrying out a safe trip like installation of dashcam, regular maintenance at 6 months period (tracked by app), airbag checkups, availability of mobile data usage, emergency contact info etc.
