Big fan of the idea!

I've been using Google Apps Script[1] for similar use cases but the limited feature set has been frustrating. Glad to see something more modern come up!

I wonder if HTML parsing is possible since there isn't npm support to import a parser yet. Maybe by dropping the parser as a separate val?

Thanks! We manually added `parseXML` to our runtime, which uses fast-xml-parser from npm. Would that work for your usecase? I'm happy to manually add other npm modules by request until we figure out a longer-term solution. Your other idea of adding them as a val also works.
