Playwright's CLI is a great tool. I think Headless Recorder brings a better UX and fast recording workflow. It does not need to load a custom browser, just use your own chronium based browser of your choice and start recording with the extension


I can't say the generated code is better than Playwright's. What I think it brings a better UX and fast recording flow


Hey, it does not claim to be headless. Headless Recorder is the name we picked trying to sound as generic as possible in terms of tools (Puppeteer, Playwright or whatever came up in the future). Headless stands for the code that is being generated and not for the tool


Ok thanks. That makes a bit more sense!


Headless Recorder 1.0 is a free and open-source Chrome extension that records your browser interactions and generates Playwright/Puppeteer scripts without coding. Easily record, copy, and run your script for testing, monitoring, or scraping


Thanks for this! I've used Headless Recorder not only as a tool for completing tasks, but as an educational aid in learning how Puppeteer/Playwright actually works. Seeing the code it spits out is a huge shortcut in learning to craft your own scripts.


More providers: BIP, Azure, and Digital Ocean!


Added two new providers to the benchmark. You can now check AWS Cloudfront and AWS Amplify on the list reply


Hello Community, author here. For a recent talk I’ve built https://www.jamstackdeploy.com/ to compare the performance of cloud providers like Vercel, Netlify, and Firebase … I created a static Nuxt.js site and analyze the performance using https://www.checklyhq.com/ across 21 global locations. This will help to see which provider works best for your app depending on the countries you want to target. The project is Open Source. If you have feedback or want to contribute reach out via https://github.com/checkly/jamstack-deploy.
