I'm not a big Excel user, but I see errors that I get when I type in English function names while using a non-English version of Excel. Is it correct that functions (and thus this xlsb file) are not portable to other language versions of Excel?
It's been my experience that Excel spreadsheets are not transferable from one locale to another. Maybe there is a "culture-invariant" version of a spreadsheet but I haven't found it.
Even the CSV export of Excel sets the separator based on locale, rendering them hard to use in international setting. I work at a European statistics office, and although there's SDMX, it's not under Save-as in Excel.
Highly recommend playwright (if I'm not mistaken most of the big developers from puppeteer were hired by MS to work on playwright). I run into significantly less await/async problems with playwright than I did with puppeteer and the codegen tool is super helpful as a first pass option.
Also is the ability to open the Networks panel, to snoop on requests and find the exact API call that you might need to perform your task, instead of having to pull in all of HTML/JS/CSS crap. As a lot of SPAs have essentially pushed everything behind JSON APIs, all information is usually one (authenticated) API call away.
Most content heavy websites that tend to be scrapped, usually use server side rendering for this exact same reason, and put many obstacles in the way to make sure that data doesn't get scrapped easily. See: product price, stock, delivery information.
https://chrome.browserless.io/ is perhaps the best technical demo I've ever seen, and shows off Browserless's capabilities amazingly. An incredibly high-quality service and codebase.
I suggest to take a look at tauri[1], lorca[2](requires chrome to be installed) or webview[3](uses system webkit). If you're interested I made a small poc that can be shipped as a single binary file with webview and react - https://github.com/snehesht/goview
This is pretty cool, I tried this, takes around 5 secs to generate the audio for a couple of sentences with my old 1080Ti.
I've been using Google TTS for generating audio for my reading list, this would be good time to build a simple api+worker wrapper around this and integrate into my app.
