Show HN: I Made a Playwright Recorder

Playwright comes with a recorder, however I had a few killer features I wanted/needed:

  1. I need a repl to execute the "next lines of code" live, either in vscode or the browser.
  Without this I have to restart the entire test to get to the end and try the next line.

  2. I need to be able to configure the selector to match application or lib specific UI pieces
  One-size-fits-all selectors isn't working well for my company's SPA

  3. I need this to generate test code as good as I would write
  This means awareness of the page-object-model, and not just emitting raw selectors into my test

As far as I'm aware these 3 killer features aren't out there in the web automated test world. I tried to find them. When I couldn't I began writing my own. I got the go-ahead from my workplace to continue implementing it, dogfood it, and even have it open sourced and published on npm.
