Hey everyone! DeploySentinel Recorder is a Chrome/Firefox extension that generates Playwright or Puppeteer browser automation scripts by automatically capturing input events (types, clicks, scrolls) as well as generating actions such as hover, await/assert text, and screenshots. This allows you to author browser automation tests incredibly quickly, but outputs clean code for you to easily adjust/edit afterwards. (No reliance on awkward helper functions!)

I put together the DeploySentinel Recorder because I really wanted a quick browser automation/test-authoring tool that can do 80% of the script authoring for me, with a really smooth developer workflow and output maintainable code.

If you’re wondering how this compares with a few other awesome recording tools out there - I’ve put together a breakdown down on the Readme: https://github.com/DeploySentinel/Recorder#alternatives-comp...

I've gotten some really great feedback from early users so far on the extension. Would love to hear any and all feedback from the HN community! :)
