In plain words

CodeceptJS is a testing framework for Node.js that uses a synchronous API to simplify end-to-end testing. It works with multiple automation tools including Playwright, WebDriver, Puppeteer, and Appium. The framework includes Explorbot, an open-source AI agent that autonomously explores websites, generates tests, and identifies untested code paths in existing regression suites. CodeceptJS is designed for developers who want to write tests more efficiently and comprehensively.

Write less. Test more. Works with Playwright, WebDriver, Puppeteer, and Appium. We also created Explorbot — the world's first open-source self-testing agent . It explores your site, writes tests as it goes, and runs autonomously for hours on CI. Already have a regression suite? Explorbot finds the paths it never touched. Explorbot is powered by CodeceptJS and writes itsfrom codecept.io

    Hey HN, This is Jan, founder of Apify, a web scraping and automation platform. Drawing on our team's years of experience, today we're launching Crawlee [1], the web scraping and browser automation library for Node.js that's designed for the fastest development and maximum reliability in production. For details, see the short video [2] or read the announcement blog post [3]. Main features: - Supports headless browsers with Playwright or Puppeteer - Supports raw HTTP crawling with Cheerio or JSDOM - Automated parallelization and scaling of crawlers for best performance - Avoids blocking using…

    I've been working on browser automation infrastructure for a while and kept hitting the same ceiling: Playwright and Puppeteer are great for scripting but fall apart when you need stealth at scale. Cloud-based solutions like Browserbase work but you're sending all your data to a third party and can't control the environment. So we built Owl Browser, a self-hosted Chromium-based engine that runs in a single Docker container. The core technical problem we tried to solve was fingerprint consistency. Most browser automation tools either ignore fingerprinting entirely or apply surface-level…

  • Talanoa▲345

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
