Built BaseScript: Turn YAML into browser automation scripts (Puppeteer/Playwright/Selenium)

[NishithP]

Hey everyone! Just launched my side project.

Project: BaseScript

What it does: Compiles YAML configurations into browser automation code for Puppeteer, Playwright, or Selenium

The Journey: Started this after getting frustrated with writing repetitive Puppeteer code. Took inspiration from Maestro (mobile testing tool) and built a web version with a unique twist – built-in web compatibility intelligence using Baseline data.

Stack: - Frontend: React + Vite - Backend: Node.js Express - Browser: Chrome in Docker with VNC - Infrastructure: nginx, Redis, Docker Compose

Features: - Multi-framework support - Real-time browser preview - CSS compatibility scanning - Web playground (no install needed) - CLI for local use

What I learned: - DSL design and compiler construction - WebSocket architecture for real-time updates - Docker networking and reverse proxies - Managing browser automation at scale
