    Chrome --headless can dump the to the command line. Set a virtual time budget in [?] for the to settle down and then do stuff.

    shell
    Html() {
      chromium \
        --headless \
        --incognito \
        --dump-dom \
        --virtual-time-budget=999999 \
        "$1"
    }
    
    HtmlToText() {
      lynx -stdin -dump -nolist
    }

    This has “peculiar” uses. Fun fact: invoking the name of chromium around normal people confers alien–like status.

    shell
    Html 'https://www.youtube.com/' | HtmlToText

    My puppeteer scripts now use deno.

    No more need for npm in my personal stack! spawnSync + which returns the local browser’s path.

    javascript
    import puppeteer from "https://deno.land/x/puppeteer@16.2.0/mod.ts";
    
    const chrome = "firefox";   /* Browser Chrome: "firefox" | "chromium" | "google-chrome" | ... */
    const product = "firefox";  /* Product Base:   "firefox" | "chrome" */
    
    const { status, stdout, stderr } = Deno.spawnSync("which", {
      args: [ chrome, ],
    });
    
    const executablePath = new TextDecoder().decode(stdout).trim();
    
    const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
      headless: false,
      executablePath: executablePath,
      product: product,
    });
    
    const page = await browser.newPage();
    await page.setViewport({ width: 1024, height: 768, });
    
    const sites = [ "example.com", ];
    
    for (const site of sites) {
      await page.goto("http://" + site);
      await page.screenshot({ path: site + ".png" });
    }
    
    await browser.close();
    Basic Boilerplate: Captures a picture of example.com (main.ts)
    shell
    deno run --allow-all --unstable main.ts
    Deno Version: 1.23.0

    Web servers can be spun up quickly on the command line but with gotchas.

    Take the innocent web server .

    shell
    php -S 127.0.0.1:8080

    Best not to use PHP’s web server cli (even for PHP) because routes with a dot (.) are assumed to be static files. Use a real web server or superior cli web servers with minor gotchas.

    shell
    python -m http.server --bind 127.0.0.1 8080
    busybox httpd -f -p 127.0.0.1:8080
    ruby -run -e httpd . -p 8080
