Looks cool, well done. I toyed with the idea of building something similar as a product a few months ago. I think there's an opportunity for a service that allow users to create their own integrations for services that are too niche for Alexa/Siri etc to bother with, but would still benefit from automation. Example might be booking local tennis courts, seeing what specials are on at local restaurant, etc.
Some other ideas-
- Save macros retroactively. i.e, Extension records all the time, user selects previous n steps from 'action history' view.
- Paid service for running macros in cloud on schedule, receive reports, notifications, etc.
- Invoke macros from Alexa, FB bot, etc
- With above, can interactively ask for instruction if it encounters an error (button not found, etc).
- kensoh 10y agoThank you grw_ :) And especially for sharing your well thought out points. I have noted down all your ideas for further exploration. I'm chewing on an idea of crowdsourcing + marketplace, where people can make use of the flows made by others (without sensitive credentials), and where users with complex automation requests can have someone do it for a small goodwill fee.
