I use a VPN (Mullvad) and confirm that it works (MS Edge on Windows 11).

Fair enough. Maybe the mobile version could just showcase the features and such of the « Desktop » version.

Does it do webhooks? (As in email forwarding to an HTTP/2 endpoint) I am looking for a cheaper alternative to Mailgun.

I just released webhook support! See https://forwardemail.net/free-email-webhooks and https://forwardemail.net/en/faq#do-you-support-webhooks.

I'm releasing webhook support probably in the next 48 hours.

Email me at webhooks@forwardemail.net if you want notified when its up.

How is it different from, let's say:

chrome --headless --disable-gpu --print-to-pdf https://www.google.com/

[cronopios → dananjaya86]

--print-to-pdf is very limited.

As soon as you need to control anything, you have to use [Puppeteer](https://developers.google.com/web/tools/puppeteer/)

[danburzo → dananjaya86]

As @cronopios mentions, if you need a bit of flexibility in the output, you need to use a wrapper over Chromium — either Electron, or (the more recent) Puppeteer.

Other than that, it runs the article through Readability to extract just the main content and applies customizable CSS / HTML to it.

[vincnetas → dananjaya86]

It uses puppeteer so basically it's chrome under the hood.

Had a great time at the first edition of the meetup.. Met some interesting people and it's always great to talk to fellow HN'ers in person.. Also need to mention the Pizza & Beer treat we had.. ( pretty much the standard geek ration)
