Have you ever wanted to play phone games on your PC without the emulator stress. Well look no further. Velo v0.1.0 is coming. Velo mirrors your phone to your PC, and map your keyboard and mouse keys to where you want it to touch. Coming soon♥️ @Smart_crYpT1 @tomiwa_xi

@tomiwa_xi TF u talking bout

@uspih_eth Ok👍

@firekid_dev Yeah, closer to the source-cleaning side than just raw selector patching. Still evolving, but the goal is to keep downstream workflows from having to care every time the source shifts. DM me

what's the worst anti-bot measure you've encountered while scraping? cloudflare got smart in 2026 they check canvas fingerprints, webgl rendering, audio context, font lists built @firekid/scraper to spoof all of them + auto-rotate fingerprints what's broken your scrapers recently

@uspih_eth Makes sense, keeping the maintenance burden on one central service instead of every workflow. My self-healing selectors (7 fallback strategies) try to solve it at the scraper level. Curious do you abstract selectors too? cleaning after the source changes? Happy to compare notes

Mostly on-demand. For social data we maintain the endpoint layer ourselves, so when sources drift the burden stays on us, not every builder downstream. That’s the main point for us: move scraper maintenance out of each workflow and into one maintained service. Happy to share setup if useful 🤝

Ghost cursor ports for Playwright exist (Bezier curves + natural timing). Full @firekid/scraper setup with jitter/human profiles + self-healing selectors here: github.com/Firekid-is-him…

Yeah behavioral is the silent killer, fingerprint rotation gets past initial checks but robotic mouse/scroll tanks score over time. Added profiles in @firekid/scraper w/ jitter & delays. Anyone using ghost-cursor libs or similar for human pointer events? Drop recs👇

@uspih_eth yeah the maintenance spiral is brutal that's why I built the self-healing selectors into it, when a site changes structure, it tries 7 different fallback strategies before failing curious how Surf handles site changes? you pre-scrape and maintain the data or handle it on-demand?

For us the bigger issue is the maintenance spiral. You get past one layer, then spend the next week keeping the scraper alive. That’s part of why we started building Surf for some workflows it’s better to pay for the data you need than keep owning the whole scraping mess yourself.

@JafarNajafov Crawlee + Playwright is beast for evasion defaults, But behavioral stacking still ghosts long runs. Layer ghost-cursor for mouse curves + my @firekid/scraper (jitter/human profiles) to go further. War stories thread 👇

🚨 BREAKING: There's a Python library that makes your web crawlers basically invisible to every modern bot detection system. It's called Crawlee. Built by Apify. And it treats anti-bot evasion as a default, not a feature you bolt on. What it does: → Scrapes any website with BeautifulSoup, Playwright, or raw HTTP your choice → Auto-rotates proxies and manages sessions so you never get blocked → Handles JS-heavy sites with full headless browser support → Parallel crawling that scales automatically with your system resources → Saves data to persistent storage no lost progress if something crashes → Retries failed requests automatically without you touching anything One pip install. Works on any site. Any format. HTML, PDF, JPG, PNG all of it. 8.1K stars. 100% Opensource. Apache 2.0 License. (Link in the comments)

@GithubProjects Exactly, native C++ patches beat runtime JS hacks for fingerprints, but behavioral (mouse/scroll) is the next layer. @firekid/scraper profiles + jitter help there. Who's tested CloakBrowser + pointer emulation combo?👇

@GithubProjects CloakBrowser stealth in C++ is clean for Playwright users! This + ghostcursor libs for human mouse/pointer emulation would crush behavioral detectors (DataDome style).I added jitter + fast/normal/human profiles in @firekid/scraper for exactly this. More war stories in my thread

Stealth browser automation just got interesting. CloakBrowser is a custom Chromium build designed to look like a real browser to anti-bot systems. No JS hacks, no config tricks. Fingerprints patched directly in the C++ source. Drop-in replacement for Playwright/Puppeteer. Python or JS. 3 lines of code.

@TosinOlugbenga Built a scraper engine for websites, auto rotate fingerprints, cloudflare captcha auto solver and Ddos Guard bypassed github.com/Firekid-is-him…

Are you building something cool? Share your project. The top one gets featured for 24 hours on my platform with 500000000+ weekly views

@sahill_og A python calculator also

What was the first thing you ever built? Mine was a calculator in Python that couldn't divide. Drop yours.

@ApplyWiseAi stealth mode helps but cloudflare got smarter now they check canvas fingerprints, webgl rendering, and so on @firekid/scraper spoofs all of them + auto-rotates so you don't trip their ML models what broke your stealth setup? always looking to patch new vectors

@firekid_dev cloudflare bypass? playwright stealth mode was my go-to last project

just shipped my Scraper Engine @firekid/scraper - web scraping framework that actually bypasses Cloudflare built it because I was tired of scrapers dying on the first captcha what's the weirdest site you've ever tried to scrape? (asking because I'm collecting war stories for v2)

@pcshipp Bro I think it's for 4.6 cos I reached my weekly limit yesterday, but today I switched to 4.5 and it worked

Claude AI changed their daily limits to weekly limits Is it only for me? Why Claude why

I made Vercel persistent. No, it's not a hack. No, it's not expensive. Day 1 of building Botlink, deploy Discord bots to Vercel like it was always possible. What do you guys think of the name Botlink?

Making Vercel serverless to a persistent server Wish me luck 🤞. For more info; visit my GitHub Repo: github.com/Firekid-is-him Complex process involved #devs #vercel #server @tomiwa_xi @Smart_crYpT1
