Buster is a browser extension which helps you to solve difficult captchas by completing reCAPTCHA audio challenges using speech recognition. Challenges are solved by clicking on the extension button at the bottom of the reCAPTCHA widget.
reCAPTCHA challenges remain a considerable burden on the web, delaying and often blocking our access to services and information depending on our physical and cognitive abilities, our social and cultural background, and the devices or networks we connect from.
The difficulty of captchas can be so out of balance, that sometimes they seem friendlier to bots than they are to humans.
The goal of this project is to improve our experience with captchas, by giving us easy access to solutions already utilized by automated systems.
A collection of awesome web crawl, scraping, and spidering projects in different languages.
A remarkably streamlined and simple to use system for using AI and ML models to interact with data. Build interactive data analyses with just a very little code. The demo shows most of everything you need to be productive. Hot reloading; change some of the Python code in your research script, the display updates. Don't need to mess with HTML and Javascript, just a text editor and a web browser.
A very simple static homepage for your server. No build process involved. Edit a YAML file, add titles, icons, and links to the services running on the server, load it in a browser. Unusually pretty, unusually handy. Never thought I'd like it.
Web mining module for Python, with tools for scraping, natural language processing, machine learning, network analysis and visualization.
A PHP script which not only prettifies file directories shown by your web server, but adds context. Also seems to work around hardcoded limitations (like those in Nginx, which you can only fix by hacking the source and recompiling). Seems designed to use as many versions of PHP as possible for compatibility. Can be customized to make it easier to find things.
A bare-bones server that implements a universal back-end for a content management system. Works a little like a key/value store, or a straight JSON store. Implements a JSON HTTP API.

Can also generate basic HTML for implementing the front-end.
