Manifest — scraping as a delivery service
Messy web data, picked up, sorted, and delivered as a clean spreadsheet — no scraping tools to learn, no scripts to maintain.
Posted by Muhammad Samraan Arshad
Small businesses need data pulled from the web constantly — competitor prices, listings, leads — but the tools to do it are built for developers, not for the person who needs the spreadsheet. Manifest turns scraping into a delivery service: say what you need and how often, and it arrives picked, cleaned, and packed into one sheet on schedule. No scripts to maintain, no scraping tools to learn.
About the builder:
Computer Science graduate and full-stack freelance web developer specializing in ASP.NET MVC, currently building WebLyteX, a web development agency. I post real, built-for-clients work, not just ideas — this demo reflects hands-on experience with the parts that actually kill DIY scraping projects: anti-bot handling, proxy rotation, and keeping a scraper alive when sites change without warning.
