Small but important improvements for users

Closed

Thank you for creating this Actor. I’ve tried it works really well.

I’d like to suggest a few small but impactful changes to improve the Actor's usability:

  1. Default Values in input_schema.json

    • It would be helpful to have default values in input_schema.json. This allows users to try the Actor quickly and immediately see its value. Additionally, it makes it easier for users to adapt the Actor to their specific needs.
    • For example, based on your documentation, you could use:
      1"attributes": [
      2  {
      3    "description": "The main title of the page",
      4    "name": "title"
      5  },
      6  {
      7    "description": "Number of points",
      8    "name": "points"
      9  },
      10  {
      11    "description": "Number of comments",
      12    "name": "nr_comments"
      13  }
      14],
      15"url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/"
  2. Adding an example of input and output to the Readme file would be very beneficial. It allows users to quickly understand what kind of output they can expect for a given input, making the Actor easier to adopt.

  3. Currently, the Actor requires 4GB of memory, which seems too high. If possible, consider reducing this to 1GB. I don't Actor is performing heavy computations or loading large packages. You can update the memory settings in the Actor page under Settings to specify the required memory.

Thank you again for your contribution. I appreciate your effort! 😊
