How do you retrieve other people's compute time ? Or do you have a special deal with each provider so they allow you to do that maybe ? Or maybe I completely misunderstood the thing

How does this design compare to using channels to send data to a dedicated handlers. When using channels i've found multiple issues: (1) Web-shaped code that is often hard to follow along (2) Requires to manually implement message types that can then be converted to network-sendable messages (3) Requires to explicitly give a transmitter to interested/allowed entities (4) You get a result if your channel message failed to transmit but NOT if your message failed to transmit over network

But besides that it's pretty convenient. Let's say you have a ws_handler channel, you just send your data through that and there is a dedicated handler somewhere that may or may not send that message if it's able to.

It was pretty great to see an official swift support for playdate

To scrape the websites, do you just blindly cut all of the HTML into defined size chunks or is there some more sophisticated logic to extract text of interest ?

I'm wondering because most news websites now have a lot of polluting elements like popups, would they also go into the database ?
