In plain words

Spinneret is a web automation tool that lets users record workflows and replay them locally or in the cloud. It captures interactions like clicking buttons and filling forms, then allows these recorded "tracks" to be run programmatically with dynamic inputs through an API endpoint. The tool is designed for developers and productivity-focused users who need to automate repetitive web tasks.

    Autotab is a Chrome extension that writes Selenium code to mirror your actions as you navigate the browser.

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.

    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…
