A comment on AWS forked my project and launched it as its own service.

Taking permissively licensed open source code without so much of an attribution obviously sucks, but I can’t quite see the evidence that this is a fork? Same concept, sure. Code generated is similar but different enough, and there aren’t really many ways to express the similar bits... Interface isn’t exactly breakthrough either, anyone would have used a textarea + buttons. (Only looked at the screenshots.)

Can someone check the source code of the extension?

(It's certainly weird that 30+ comments in, everyone else is taking sides without even questioning the IMO not terribly well supported premise.)

Edit: Okay, judging from NOTICES.txt it is.

It's in the third or fourth tweet that the link to his website is in the extensions

It is the same code - Someone on Twitter noticed that if you download the Chrome extension and look in the notices.txt file of that bundle, the first line reads puppeteer-recorder v0.7.2
