From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

For me it's the other way around I wish there would be better CLI support for GUI apps.

This, but for a Fireshot like tool. Screenshot and pdf of webpages in their entirety by scrolling while shotting. In bulk, with CLI.

Do you have a legitimate use-case for this?

[–] joeldebruijn@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Dont know if it's illegitimate otherwise 😉

But my user story is like this:

I want to preserve and archive information I used because it's a reflection of the things I did, learned and studied throughout life.

Then my use case are:

  • Orientation about "events": places to visit on daytrips or holidays (musea, nature, parks, campsites) and looking for practical information and background as well.
  • Gather a "dossier": info to help make a decision (buying expensive things, how to do home improvement etc)
  • Building a personal knowledge database: interesting articles and blogs.

My current workflow:

  • Browse
  • Bookmark extensively
  • Download pdf or other content (maps, routes, images) when provided.
  • Open bookmarks.
  • Fireshot every webpage to pdf and png
  • Save everything with a consequent filename (YYYYMMDD - Source - Title)

I would like to automate the last 3 steps of my workflow.
