headless-recorder VS recognize-anything-api

Or when the maintainer of this project whined and cried because Amazon forked it and offered it as a service. Amazon pointed at the MIT license and shrugged.

interesting! possible competitor of headless-recorder? https://github.com/checkly/headless-recorder

Not at the moment, but this has been requested in the past. Would you mind upvoting the relevant issue on the official repo? https://github.com/checkly/headless-recorder/issues/89

The newest version (1.0) of Headless Recorder has just been released! Headless Recorder is a popular open-source Chrome extension that makes writing Playwright/Puppeteer scripts way easier: it records your browser interactions and auto-generates the code.

Check out Headless Recorder. It records browser interactions and generates Puppeteer and Playwright scripts.

I've not cleaned it up enough to push yet, but I packaged up an open source image recognition model (https://github.com/mnahkies/recognize-anything-api) and then wrote a script to crawl my photo library, run inference over each image and then write the results into the tag tables of digikams sqlite database (https://www.digikam.org/)

One thing I was fairly proud of was how scrappy the script was - I wrote it in typescript for the familiarity with the sqlite driver, but I used find and curl to actually do the crawling and API submission.

Is it hard to do that in pure typescript/node? No, but I was in a "how can I validate if this is even an interesting thing to be doing mode" and execing out to these tools was a way to get there slightly faster.

I've found that this attitude has been a great way to make weekend projects more fun and feel less like work.

Getting to some kind of tangible value sooner has also made easier to not lose interest halfway through and has been yielding me more semi-complete weekend projects (the word semi is doing a lot of work here tbf, but it's all relative)
