nirvanist··on Ask HN: Hiring in the age of AI-assisted coding: what works?
instead of doing remote interview how about irl , I think that will fix many issues
nirvanist··on Best AI coding interview assistant in 2026
blind.codes is the cheapest option and did the job for me. It has no subscription plan (which makes sense unless you plan to spend your life doing coding interviews), offers free credits, and doesn’t require a credit card.

I think it s a crime, playing with people lives

To be honest, I think ghost offers should be criminalized; they are just playing with people’s lives.

That’s a great pivot and thank you for your comment at least it s open other point of view

I’m mostly focused on software full-stack, backend, automation, and building products.

The problem in my case is that I’m too passionate about it. I was so committed to web and software development that I don’t really have easily transferable skills outside of it.

I’m currently training for some certifications, but I still feel like it’s not the best use of my time.

nirvanist··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (January 2026)
Extract Structured Data from Any Web Page https://page-replica.com/structured/live-demo
nirvanist··on Show HN: Clean HTML for Semantic Extraction
thank you for comment, probably not in this module but defiantly I m thinking about how to implement this
nirvanist··on Show HN: Clean HTML for Semantic Extraction
Modern web pages are cluttered with tracking scripts, analytics, styling, ads, and interactive elements that waste tokens and dilute semantic meaning when processing content for AI systems. This library strips away the noise to give you clean, meaningful HTML that:

- Reduces token count by 60-90% (fewer API costs) - Improves embedding quality (less noise = better semantic search) - Speeds up processing (smaller payloads = faster inference) - Preserves structure (headings, paragraphs, links stay intact) - Zero dependencies (pure JavaScript, no bloat)

nirvanist··on Show HN: POC to scrape and structure HTML into JSON for RAG
At the moment, I use it in client projects to build agents for their chat systems by adding RAG to models
nirvanist··on Show HN: POC to scrape and structure HTML into JSON for RAG
Basically, I use a headless Chromium with Puppeteer to render the page. Then, some logic extracts and cleans the HTML content. Finally, I use Gemini with a specific schema to return a JSON response.

nirvanist··on Show HN: Page Replica – Optimize Your Web App SEO with Pre-Rendering
Earlier this year, I published a tool on GitHub to help you scrape and prerender your web app for better search engine indexing. Here's the original HN post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38832257

This project has now evolved into a full-fledged service called Page Replica, which I use for my own projects. If you're struggling with SEO because your web app or site takes too long to render for bots, Page Replica could be the solution you need.

Page Replica pre-renders your web pages, making them ready for search engine bots, ensuring faster indexing and better SEO performance. If you face similar challenges, give it a try and let me know your feedback!

nirvanist··on Show HN: Page Replica – Tool for Web Scraping, Prerendering, and SEO Boost
Yes, Google can render your content handled by JavaScript, but Googlebot allows only a few milliseconds for rendering. If your page isn't rendered within that time frame, it may be penalized.

For this reason, many news and broadcasting media outlets still use prerendering services. I speak from experience as I worked in a large Canadian media company.

Another important factor to consider is that the SEO world isn't limited to Google. Various bots, including those from other search engines and platforms like Facebook, require correctly rendered pages for optimal sharing and visibility.

Lastly, the choice between client-side rendering (CSR) and server-side rendering (SSR) depends on your specific needs. Google Search Console provides valuable metrics and information about your app, so it might be worth considering SSR if that better aligns with your requirements.
