I recently released nut.js v3.0.0, a Node.js desktop automation framework, in line with a brand new OCR plugin and improved image search

Then there’s e.g. https://github.com/go-vgo/robotgo but I haven’t tried that yet, I only know it exists. Judging from the C source code it’s also based off robotjs

I'm trying to use robotgo to automate some work in another GUI program, but I'm finding the documentation to be a bit light and the examples to be not quite illuminating. Are there any example projects out there using this library that I could reference to learn more?

Best tool to automate GUI (like AutoHotKey, PyAutoGUI)?
1 project | /r/learnprogramming | 20 Mar 2021

So, I'm looking for other tools that let me do the same thing in literally any other programming language. I'd rather use the opportunity to learn GoLang (RobotGo) than learn AutoHotKey.
