I have been working on this project for quite some time, it's a web automation software/platform that runs on Windows. Free beta version for now which will allow local bot development, but in the future, one will have the ability to run these bots in the cloud and get the results through the web interface.

No need for Playwright or Selenium, you can use Botzilla to extract data, automate actions, do testing and more.

New actions will be constantly added into the library, that will eventually connect to different platforms, similar to n8n.

Happy to answer questions!

Re:Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (April 2026) on Monday April 13, 2026 @03:41AM (#47748960)
I am working an https://app.proxytopia.com

At a first glance it's a mobile proxy service, but the entire backend of it allows anyone to create their own mobile proxy and be able to access it anywhere through the internet, seamlessly. That's the 2nd phase of the website which is still long ways to go, but very happy with how stable the platform is and how fully it's automated.

Tech stack is a bit unconventional for a public facing website, as it's Blazor Server. As a C# dev in my day job, I've found Blazor to be quite capable and stable to quickly iterate through my ideas. And was pleasantly surprised to see how easily I can deploy the app into a Linux VPS through docker, which I didn't think was possible a few years ago.

I have, it's amazing. The only thing it's missing is drag and drop to outside divs. Other than that, it's feature rich, very customizable and the best from all other js grids I tried.

Very cool but the WASD keys do not work on Firefox. Arrow keys work fine though!

edit: it suddenly started working after I switched to a different tab, and then back to the raycast's tab.

Having options is good, and there are many reasons someone would prefer them over AWS, GCP or Azure.

Could you expand? People get their accounts locked for no reason?
Looks very useful, maybe you can promote it on reddit.
This is not a random fork. This is a fork with almost $400 million 24 hour volume. Coinbase should allow users to withdraw their BCC, since they are sitting on a huge pile of BCC units, which belong to customers.

I have zero experience in graphic design, but I do not think the simulation is made for designers.

Very cool, but please change the color selector. It is not intuitive, and it's very hard to pick even the most obvious colors.

Since it's based on MonoDevelop/Xamarin you should expect it soon.

Yeap, at least I got a refund.
I use DigitalOcean, which has great speeds and network, but also use a dedicated server from WholesaleInternet, in which I host a few VPSs for development purposes.
Re:Ask HN: Stripe or Braintree? on Monday July 11, 2016 @01:58PM (#12072925)
Besides Stripe and Braintree, I would like to recommend FastSpring. Accepts credits cards, Paypal, Amazon and others. Supports recurring payments (perfect for SaaS) and single payments for products. Has great support, and the fees are very low. I have been using them for more than 2 years, and have had no issues.

Couldn't you monetize better with some niche related affiliate products?

150mb? Am I the only one who thinks the size is ridiculous?

That's what you get when you build desktop applications using web technologies.

Genymotion's free edition has too many limitations. It's not just free for non-commercial usage. Some examples are: multi-touch and accelerometer, which are not supported in the free edition.

The son's favorite games don't include any games of his dad. That's quite funny.

I wonder if the bad performance is due to the <1kb requirement.

Cannot try the admin panel, because apparently it was locked.

What features is this missing compared to cPanel?
