Having spent many years automating enterprise web apps professionally and random websites for fun and profit, I came to realize a lot of automation is just about the data itself, or rather the movements of it (new service order etc) This realization led me to create Monitoro[0], a no code tool to abstract websites as a reactive data structure, allowing you to create events based on specific data changes from any website/web app. What happens after these events is flexible, from no-code alerts and integrations to your own custom code triggered with the event’s data via webhooks. I believe narrowing down the focus to data and events only (instead of open ended automation) leads itself better to a no-code offering, and the resulting solutions are more robust (web automations are famously fragile due to state changes).

This is great! Are you working on Monitoro (great name and logo by the way) full time? Seems like there'd be plenty of demand for it. A couple questions: 1. How do you handle auth (e.g. if I need to be logged into LinkedIn to see some data)? 2. Why did you add supabase as an integration? Seems like there wouldn't be much demand for that considering their size. I've been hacking on Wax[0] which lets people run Python + SQL from Sheets with zero infrastructure. It's more in the low-code (vs. no-code) space and built for less technical people that already know some Python or SQL. It's also already integrated with other tools (e.g. databases, Slack, etc.). 0 - https://www.wax.run/ https://www.wax.run/

  > Are you working on Monitoro (great name and logo by the way) full time? Thank you and yes! 1. We allow cookies to pass through in Local mode, i.e. on your computer (we don't store them, literally we try to make Monitoro's layer transparent to the browser). We don't support auth in Cloud extraction. 2. We built Monitoro on Supabase for quite some time and think there's great synergy between an easy platform to store and serve data (Supabase) and a platform to source that data in the first place (Monitoro). It's also a great alternative to Airtable when your database starts growing beyond the 50K record limit. Wax looks really cool, I love it! Sheets is really the holy grail of personal computing and begs to be used for all its power. Translating between all these layers was probably not easy, kudos. I'm a bit curious though regarding Google API limits. Did you hit any speedbump with that due to the volume of data you have to sync? PS: Apologies for the slow reply here!
