Show HN: I made a Chrome extension that can automate any website

I'm a speech therapist who does teletherapy. I routinely fill out a lot of web forms. I've already created one automation that will save me time, and I have ideas for several more automations. Thank you so much for making this!

Oh man, this makes me super happy to hear. Enjoy, and feel free to reach out either by email (support@browserflow.app) or on the Discord if you need any help with your automations!

If you'd be so kind... I'm helping a similarly standardized testing industry, how are you using this extension?

And DK: I didn't see it immediately - does an affiliate program for solution architects sound right / in the roadmap?

I hadn't considered it, but I'm happy to explore that option. Feel free to email me at dk@browserflow.app

Interesting.. are you learning/using programming as part of your work or for your own interests? If not, I'm curious what value you feel you get from Hacker News; I know a lot of non-programming topics get discussed here, I just typically assume the audience here skews more towards people working in technology/software-related fields.

I tried teaching myself programming at one point, but it didn't really "click" for me. I browse HN for the non-programming topics. I steer around the "built with Rust" posts (and other programming motifs).

The value I get from Hacker News is the aggregation of interesting web content, good discussion, and learning about new apps like this one :)

The main thing I want to do with this extension is to speed up my documentation process. For every therapy session, I have to fill out a web form that details what happened during the session, including subjective info and objective data regarding the therapy goals. I already record the data in a Google Sheet, and it would be great to have a one-click solution to transfer that into the web form!

Right now, I have an automation for updating Zoom meeting info, and one that fills out the web form with standard info I include for nearly every session.
