Looking over the API docs now

https://docs.hyperbeam.com/start-chromium-session

First thing that comes to my mind is... this is kind of like Puppeteer. Even if that is what they are using in the background... would they ever expose it so existing Puppeteer apps could plug and play (like https://www.browserless.io/)?

View on HN

We're not using puppeteer in the background, but people have asked for puppeteer support. Do you use browserless.io? We think they do a great job and don't see a point competing with them.

Would appreciate your thoughts.

Selenium & Appium creator here. I'm kinda jumping up and down at how awesome this demo is. While browser automation with puppeteer would be cool... I see in your docs that you also support running a remote Android emulator. As someone who spends a lot of time in the test automation space, there is a ton of potential here for mobile test automation (spinning up all kinds of different configs). So here's a vote for using the W3C WebDriver spec [1] if you support an automation API -- then you'll get desktop browser /and/ mobile device automation in the same API.. and it's the W3C standard. :-)

Hey hugs, just want to say Selenium is awesome. Super cool having the creator of the testing framework we used during university commenting on our post.

Would love to learn more about the mobile test automation space, I'll send off an email.

Please do! Also, fwiw... I'm also a huge fan of Three.js... On my todo list is to embed a live video feed of a mobile device's screen into the simulator [1] for my phone-testing robots. I imagine we'd have a ton to talk about!
