Looks powerful. Just curious, how does it compare to Kimono Labs?

We think Kimono is a great tool, but it is very limited in capability.

We specifically focus on handling highly dynamic or interactive websites. Our toolset gives you more flexibility over how you can extract data. For example, you can extract all the nested comment data from a reddit post, or you can extract data from maps without having to fumble around in the web inspector.

After using both there is a very large brick wall that prevents usability of kimono labs on most well-known web applications (airbnb, craiglist, etc). Example is data extraction from content visible via hover (airbnb calendar pricing) which ParseHub is able to handle.

Thanks a lot for building this, I am excited to save server costs/time from scraping data for projects.
