  After initially launching UseSQL, and using it on a large number of my other projects I discovered another area where this product could be applied to another use case. Data extraction and scraping from websites.

  Prior to this new addition, I would either learn another scraping API or since I know Python build out a new scraper each time. At this point that's a thing of the past since now all I need to know is SQL.

  I've already started using this to send myself email digests of a number of sites, such as HN, that I actively read so in other words, haven't really scratched the surface of how a person could be using this feature.

  Please be kind, but me know what you think. I added a demo so you could try it yourself if you click through to the link.
