I had this use case also in mind. Already tried with one book, but the results were not that good. Many of the tables and text boxes were messed up. I had pretty good results converting tables to markdown with ChatGPT by taking a screenshot of a table and pasting it to chat. It was able to handle some "irregular" tables with a bit of prompting. Like "Read the table row by row. Column headers are X, Y, Z. X is text, Y is number, Z is word" as a simplified example.
Right now we’re really into Shopify and that’s what we do - online stores, apps, themes and store development. We don’t just do IT, we also help our customers grow business wise. We are a young company yet growing like crazy - the story began in March 2017 with just the three founders and one employee. Now we’ve grown into a multitalented team of 13 people.
We’re looking for a talent to take our app development and integrations to the next level. The magic words in this case are Javascript(React) and Ruby on Rails. We hope you’ve already gained some professional experience.
We will gladly tell you more about us and our mission - and also about the open position! Send us an email at woolman@woolman.io or leave an open application on our career page career.woolman.io. You can find our contact information on our webpage as well.
You would be working mostly with me(milep, long time HN lurker). I'm always interested in improving my coding skills and I'm looking for a sparring partner. I'll try to use functional coding style whenever I can. Clojure would be fun but we use RoR for pragmatic reasons.
Without pg and Hacker News, I would still be coding Java in "enterprise", instead of Rails in startup. I would not know about Lisp, Ruby, Clojure and other cool stuff. And probably would have quit coding altogether in frustration.
For the dev environment you can use rbenv or rvm and your favorite text editor. https://www.ruby-toolbox.com/ is a good source for 3rd party libs. About idiomatic style I have learned from reading code from some popular gems.
Is this only for singles and those who are willing to be apart from spouses for 2 months? I'd love to go to some remote location to work for few months, but I need to take my better half with me.
If he/she can make themselves useful, you're welcome to sign up both of you. But rest assured that competition for this will be tough, so it might not be easy. Just that it's not excluded from being an option, that's all :)
