    Sounds cool but I didn’t really get how it works from the README, or I guess didn’t get a proper example. They showed that you can automagically log into website but that can also just be done with a password manager.

      Unlike a password manager that just logs you in, Beachpatrol can run any automation task, like checking your email, downloading files, or filling out forms. You have to create Playwright scripts for these tasks and run them from a shell command. There is an example script already in the commands folder, which you can run with the command beackmsg smoke-test. The sky is the limit, basically.

        Thanks, I missed the example. Tbh I think advertising “checking your email” sounds kinda stupid, people interested in this tool will probably use email clients and other software which is specifically designed for auto-email stuff.
