Autotab is a Chrome extension that writes Selenium code to mirror your actions as you navigate the browser. See it in action: https://youtu.be/UypAcozIaoo Autotab lets you create browser automations that actually work. We designed it around two principles: 1. Show, don’t tell: In a domain like web automation, it's often easier to *show* the model what you want rather than to explain it in sentences. 2. Code is the best output: Code is easy to inspect and enables manual tweaking of the model’s suggested actions. On top of that, code output avoids lock in and is straightforward…

Colin here, creator of Nub. I’ve had the general shape of this in mind for years. Nub runs your code with stock `node`, augmented with a `--require` preload hook[0] that adds a transpiler (oxc-powered, packaged as a Node-API add-on), registers a module resolution hook[1], and injects polyfills as needed for APIs like `Worker`, `Temporal`, etc. All purely additive, your code ultimately runs using Node’s actual engine & stdlib implementations.

Hi HN! Thanks for your attention to my post. It was a big challenge to run most of Node.js packages in browser, fast moreover. Virtual File system, resolve import/export. I got cold many times, depressions, burned out, yet still alive and finished it. Many guys helped me with an advice. Many users give a lot of positive feedback. There are 200,000 monthly unique users. I work full time now because of the freemium business model. To be honest - I am happy after many years of hard work.

Hi HN! I've been working on Reflame since I quit my job at Brex last year, excited to finally open it up for everybody to try out! Here's a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SohUnrjiIxk Reflame deploys client-rendered React web apps instantly, to previews and to production. In concrete wall-clock terms, deploys generally take: - ~50-500ms from our VSCode extension - ~500-3000ms from our GitHub app (Jump to this comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33134082) for what makes Reflame so fast) The Reflame GitHub App automatically deploys default branches…

In brief: I'm Aiden, 18, and have spent the past 2 years of high school working on Million.js, an open source React alternative with 11K stars on GitHub and hundreds of thousands of npm downloads. Recently, I released automatic mode, which detects slow React components and automatically optimizes the reconciliation phase. It's still in beta but chugging along. It's around 70% faster than React on the JS Framework Benchmark and you can see how I did it here: https://million.dev/blog/virtual-dom Interested? Check it out here: https://million.dev
