inventory

HTTP (preview)
* This val creates an interactive tech stack wizard that generates a video game-style inventory screen.
* It uses React for the UI, leverages emoji and Unicode symbols for a visually rich experience, and
* incorporates Tailwind CSS for elegant, grayscale styling.
* The wizard allows users to select tools, libraries, and APIs, then displays them in a shareable format.
twitterAlert

Twitter 𝕏 keyword Alerts Custom notifications for when you, your company, or anything you care about is mentioned on Twitter. 1. Authentication You'll need a Twitter Bearer Token. Follow these instructions to get one. Unfortunately it costs $100 / month to have a Basic Twitter Developer account. If you subscribe to Val Town Pro, I can let you "borrow" my token. Just comment on this val and I'll hook you up. 2. Query Change the query variable for what you want to get notified for. You can use Twitter's search operators to customize your query, for some collection of keywords, filtering out others, and much more! 3. Notification Below I'm sending these mentions to a private channel in our company Discord, but you can customize that to whatever you want, @std/email, Slack, Telegram, whatever. TODO [x] ~Filter out retweets. We've long wanted to filter these out. Should be a quick fix if anyone wants to send me a PR :)~ Completed by @sumukh
GetWebsiteMetadata
@dvsj
HTTP
You know how when you paste a URL in Twitter or Slack it shows you a nice preview? This val gives you that data. Given a URL, this will return metadata about the website like title , description , imageURL , image as base64 etc. Sample input - paste this in your URL bar https://dvsj-GetWebsiteMetadata.web.val.run?targetURL=https://dvsj.in
https://dvsj-GetWebsiteMetadata.web.val.run?targetURL=<your-target-url-here> Sample output: {
status: 200,
url: "https://dvsj.in",
title: "Dav-is-here ➜",
description: "Davis' not-so-secret stash",
imgUrl: "https://www.dvsj.in/cover-picture.png",
imgData: "data:image/png;base64,qwertyblahblah"
} FAQ: Why is imgData sent when imgUrl is already present? Because you shouldn't hotlink images from 3rd parties. Store the base64 image on your server and use it in your app. It's unfair to use their server bandwidth and could be a security issue for you if they change the content of the link later.
