DK, congrats on the launch. You are onto something with data extraction. I like that you allow to correct the selectors, so that the data can be extracted more accurately, and typing.

I found the UI slight challenging because of a popup window that opens. Resizing is tricky. Overlay would make is so much easier.

Our team at Bardeen.ai has built a workflow automation tool. We also have a scraper to extract data. But our full automation engine (similar to Zapier/Integromat) allows to tap into the full power of web apps. Like creating a new Google Sheet / Airtable / Notion with the scraped data and then triggering follow up actions.

If you are curious, here is a “live build” that I did for the Twitter --> Airtable use case. https://www.bardeen.ai/posts/scrape-twitter

Jon mentioned in the other thread automated screenshots. We get screenshots of all of our dashboards from Google Analytics + Posthog sent to our Slack daily. https://www.bardeen.ai/playbooks/send-website-screenshots-in...

Either way, great job there! Love seeing new automation projects pop up.

P.S. - I saw there is an “input” action. Can I feed your automation tool a spreadsheet of data and have it fill out form? (one per row)

Can you please elaborate what you mean?

Jon, what's the main pain or goal with capturing a screenshot for every page that you visit?

It's tricky to do on your machine, so that performance doesn't suffer. At the end of the day, all full-page PDF generators would have to scroll to the end of the page, which would make it really tough for you to browse around.

A solution to this would be to just capture the URLs that you visit, and then do the screenshot generation in the cloud. The limitation is that none of your websites with logins would get captured.

Local storage is another issue for Chrome Extensions. There is a limit to how much data that can be stored.
