Chrome Devtools Protocol
Fast-forward to today, and Selenium IDE is no longer supported on Google Chrome and the core project itself feels, for lack of a better word, dead.
So I built the web automation tool I wish existed a decade ago. Running on top of a finite-state machine, instead of a CSV-like linear list of actions. With a true IDE that has code formatting and linting. Issuing trusted events through Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) vs. WebDriver. Shareable modules, environment and global variables, a locally running large language model, exportable results, scheduled tasks, detailed logs, and much more.
I really hope you like it!
