    I was going to make a separate post about this in a few days once I finished up the documentation, but I'll post it early even though the Github repo is not in a completed state. The general idea is to build a tool that can scrape bank account information whenever it is executed, to enable more transparency when shopping for financial products like savings accounts. I've started working on the engine and templates, and currently have the logic built out for several hundred products at ~70 financial institutions.

    The best way you can help is by creating "templates" of various product information by recording or manually writing puppeteer/playwright scripts to extract specific information about various bank products. This is a simple task, but due to each bank having multiple product offerings (checking, savings, money market, certificate of deposit) and multiple tiers of each product, the actual market for "savings accounts" is in the tens of thousands. Banks change rates and fees a lot more frequently than they change their websites, so even though this is a brute-force method of aggregating data, it will be sufficient for most consumers.
