I'm a speech therapist who does teletherapy. I routinely fill out a lot of web forms. I've already created one automation that will save me time, and I have ideas for several more automations. Thank you so much for making this!

Interesting.. are you learning/using programming as part of your work or for your own interests? If not, I'm curious what value you feel you get from Hacker News; I know a lot of non-programming topics get discussed here, I just typically assume the audience here skews more towards people working in technology/software-related fields.

I tried teaching myself programming at one point, but it didn't really "click" for me. I browse HN for the non-programming topics. I steer around the "built with Rust" posts (and other programming motifs).
The value I get from Hacker News is the aggregation of interesting web content, good discussion, and learning about new apps like this one :)

If you'd be so kind... I'm helping a similarly standardized testing industry, how are you using this extension?
And DK: I didn't see it immediately - does an affiliate program for solution architects sound right / in the roadmap?

I hadn't considered it, but I'm happy to explore that option. Feel free to email me at [email protected]

The main thing I want to do with this extension is to speed up my documentation process. For every therapy session, I have to fill out a web form that details what happened during the session, including subjective info and objective data regarding the therapy goals. I already record the data in a Google Sheet, and it would be great to have a one-click solution to transfer that into the web form!
Right now, I have an automation for updating Zoom meeting info, and one that fills out the web form with standard info I include for nearly every session.
