DK! Happy to see a new project from you. I'm a die-hard Hide Feed fan.

This reminds me fondly of using Vimperator macros and link hints to automate tasks back in 2007. It has always surprised me that the most widely-used UI paradigm lacks a standard way to automate tasks - we all spend so much of our lives clicking links, it seems insane that there isn't more/standard tooling for automating that.

Oh wow, you're a real one. Glad to see you here. :)

I know, right? HTML is the ultimate API and I also found it strange that there aren't tools around helping people work with it more effectively. Hence Browserflow!
