Launch HN: Axiom (YC W21) – No-code browser automation a.k.a. RPA for everyone

  Discontinued TestFront.io DevTools (Browser Extension)

  

I always hated writing e2e tests (tools like Cypress just didn't cut it for me), so I put this together a while back (it's open source, MIT licensed): https://github.com/testfront-io/testfront-devtools

See also https://www.testfront.io/ for an actual description of how it works, but don't bother signing up. I'm really bad at marketing/getting the word out, and google took forever to approve the extension so I lost interest/ran out of money. Maybe if others show interest, I'll be motivated to resume the plans I had for it.

Here's a 4 minute video of it in action, covering every user join/login/update possibility: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifkaptIYeL8

Been applying to YC with this idea since 2015 and been knocked back 12 times now. Congrats on getting in and getting customers, is very inspiring to see more success in this market. I truly believe that unlocking the latent value in the structure of web apps is such a huge thing that's going to be a real game changer for the future.
