Hi uberneo, thanks for your feedback. TA.Gui is based on CasperJS (with PhantomJS as underlying browser in invisible mode or SlimerJS+Firefox in visible mode).

Hi uberneo, thanks for your feedback. TA.Gui is based on CasperJS (with PhantomJS as underlying browser in invisible mode or SlimerJS+Firefox in visible mode).
One of the main aims of TA.Gui is converting almost natural language into working JavaScript code to run automation. Of course, it supports JavaScript directly within the automation flow for developers to still retain their full expressive ability.
I haven't used NightmareJS before to comment on the difference between it and CasperJS. But yes, TA.Gui can be used to scrape data from a site and outputs to text files or screen. Current beta version (v0.6.0) does not support writing directly to database, however a script (shell, PHP, etc) should be able to directly read the output text files into a database.
If you are already familiar with NightmareJS, using TA.Gui would probably be a breeze for you. You might have a try to see and I appreciate feedback on gaps to support@tebel.org or through the GitHub repo issues page :)
