Show HN: Donut Browser, a Browser Orchestrator
This is really awesome, I do this myself with https://github.com/go-rod/rod
I have hacky cli tools I've built with it that manage lots of different browser profiles for scrapers. I need some sort of API though so I'm not sure Donut will do it for me, however, I may find some use for it.

Show HN: Puremd-mcp – MCP server for reliably accessing web content
nice, i've been using https://github.com/go-rod/rod or python playwright for this and doing the logic to clean the html into text. But this is nice 1 step solution.

Need help authenticating to Okta programatically.
I have tried the following. 1. Login to Okta via browser programatically using go-rod. Which I managed to do so successfully, but I'm failing to load up Slack as it's stuck in the browser loader screen for Slack. 2. I tried to authenticate via Okta RESTful API. So far, I have managed to authenticate using {{domain}}/api/v1/authn, and then subsequently using MFA via the verify endpoint {{domain}}/api/v1/authn/factors/{{factorID}}/verify which returns me a sessionToken. From here, I can successfully create a sessionCookie which have proven quite useless to me. Perhaps I am doing it wrongly.

I’m messed up with Go libraries
I usually find libraries by googling them or searching awesome go on GitHub, for selenium/puppeteer I've always found go-rod useful and easy in every way, Sometimes I also Google "X in Nodejs for Golang"

Go for web scraping
I recently tried out https://github.com/go-rod/rod. I think it's based on chromedp (so, Chrome dev tools and headless browser) but it also has code to download and run a supported version of Chrome that doesn't interfere with your local browser.
