  • Useful for avoiding manual Chrome devtools header and cookie work

    From 1 comment
    • This is really helpful. I usually manually do this with chrome dev tools, it’s kind of tedious especially the header and cookies handling.

    From 1 comment
    • Very cool! Does it require some kind of scraping of a third party web app, like clicking through with a browser agent? If so, how can I be sure it does not delete my account or…

  • Demos of bespoke apps like banking or utility portals

    • Really cool. It would be interesting to see a demo of an app that is clearly more bespoke, like your Tesla account, online banking, movie theatre ticketing, etc.

    • I am not following a couple of things: - you sell to websites an in-app agent - why not just have them give you API spec, why reverse engineer their APIs? A bit longer term,…
