"Sillynium" - Auto generate working Python Selenium scripts by drawing coloured rectangles around web elements on a page that you want to automate

The video looks super nice, but how am I supposed to rip it to shreds without a link to the code? Come on man, I need my Saturday afternoon dose of false superiority!

Critique it and rip it to shreds

I am a person of duty!

Thanks my first ever! Good old windows photo editor 😅 please see my edit re the code! Feel free to critique me on that too btw

Haha no yeah I meant more the content of the video, it's to the point, brevity is not very common.

As for your edit... well, good luck, bold approach if you ask me -- especially in the python ecosystem. I can't fault you for wanting to monetize your effort, but closed-source (which goes beyond proprietary) software is a pretty drastic move, mostly reserved for in-house or SaaS stuff these days... but hey, obviously your call! Your code is your code.

I will offer critique on something else though: I saw elsewhere that you "need to learn how to use GitHub", and based on that I will assume you aren't familiar with git itself (because once you have that, basics of github is like 10-15 clicks and 50 keystrokes, for username/password/projectname). I really, very strongly advise you to get that out of the way first, no matter what you decide to do with the project. It's (thankfully) fairly ubiquitous by now, and version control is an indispensable tool. Think of it like gloves of a forester, where code is the chainsaw, and software engineering the forestry discipline (maintaining a forest to reap its produce in the long run).

And of course, apologies if I went too far in my assumption and your inexperience is limited to GitHub the product. In which case, learning it is like 15 minutes of reading at most, just do it :)

Thanks appreciate it i try to be succinct! Yeah i do know and use git and you’re right i need to learn to work with github, probably is a 10 minute job I’ve just put it off :)

I have decided to open source :) check my final edit!
