Description
Deterministic and privacy-first browser automation workflows: - mute non-English posts on Mastodon - create RSS from the GitHub Dashboard (with upload) Both are missing features and on the respective platforms and a tech-preview of a browser automation platform driven by clock-based state machines, not AI models (although AI is a first-class citizen on the platform).I've made these workflows for myself and sharing them here as I know some may enjoy them. What else can be enjoyable is the built-in debugger and many other tools which allow for deep inspection of the workflows (diagrams, UIs, TUIs, formatted logs, REPL, and more). Server mode and docker images are also available.Stack: Golang, asyncmachine-go, secai, wails3, SQLitehttps://taskbot.app

Could you build this?
Yes Standard browser automation scripts and user scripts (via Puppeteer, Playwright, or browser extensions) to mute text or scrape feeds can easily be written with AI assistance.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a workflow automation tool for Real estate yet.
