maybe you should.

hardly "gratuitously negative". Just simple honest opinion of someone wanting to charge $1000 a month for something that anyone with an interest in already has lining their software shelves on site. Which a ton of free alternatives liter the internet. And is also now illegal.

thank you for your opinion, we noted it. By the way you are paying for using cloud resources, not for using technology, you can compile digger, download it and run for free at your own server or computer. And you can do it with free plan. So Im not really sure why we are discussing cost of our subscription plans :)
We are in beta, so we would really appreciate some feedback about user experiece when they using website, visual extractor, or compiled diggers.
Legal side of web scraping is heavily depends on country you live in.

Your comments seem targeted at their website, which is obviously an off-the-shelf theme from Themeforest or the like. (one I know I've seen before) It's not particularly well-done, but their service isn't building websites. Many a startup has their blog on Medium, or perhaps self-hosted Wordpress instance, and you could echo the same concerns.

The service is understanding the intracacies of html and webservices of any and every kind.
while negotiating a legal minefield.
So I would not echo the same concerns to any startup with a blog on wordpress or medium.
I would however echo similar concerns if an audiophile startup made an introductory youtube video with the sound so distorted and broken you couldn't understand what they were saying.
My chrome extension https://github.com/assafmo/chrome-page-to-json seems to extract your sandbox page beautifully! (https://www.diggernaut.com/sandbox/)
BTW Very nice platform, I might try it this weekend. Good luck!
