Darn. Pageant would've been a nice name though. Maybe `page-agent.js` is more relevant in web dev community.

Thanks for sharing! We need more projects like this in the JS ecosystem.

Thanks!

Bookmarklets are such an underrated feature. It's super convenient to inject and test scripts on any page. Seemed like the perfect low-friction entry point for people to try it out.

Spent some time on that UX because the concept is a bit hard to explain. Glad it worked!

This is highly experimental right now, but here are some quick links for anyone wanting to dig deeper:

- GitHub: https://github.com/alibaba/page-agent

- Live Demo (No sign-up): https://alibaba.github.io/page-agent/ (you can drag the bookmarklet from here to try it on other sites)

- Browser Extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/page-agent-ext/akld...

I'd be really interested in feedback on the security model of client-side agents giving extension-bridge access, and taking questions on the implementation!
