Currently building Vibium - a new browser automation tool for robots and humans. Open source software, test automation, startups, and any art involving motors and lights are my thing. Started Selenium and Appium projects.

i'm using nostr+blossom+lightning as the backend for a new developer tool project. "uber/airbnb/doordash for software testing". calling it valet network.

here's the proof-of-concept currently running with mock data: https://preview--valet-network.lovable.app/

"Are you trying to just make it do ui testing without making people write selenium?"

that is (part of the) dream.

but also: build the world largest testing network. anything, anywhere, anytime. nbd. :)

.... and yeah, support ai prompts and not require expert selenium knowledge. (it's gets a little tricky in distributed network wondering where the inference/translation from prompt into code happens... execution nodes could be running local llms... but hardware requirements for good local llm gets expensive)

v1 probably has most utility for simple, quick uptime health-checks using headless browsers just pinging a url, but i don't plan to stop there.

the normie equivalent of the dev tool itself is my previous start-up: sauce labs

but from a distibuted computing point of view, the closest old world equivalent might be boinc/seti-at-home... but those were volunteer efforts. I think actually paying people is an unlock. and *not* getting distracted rolling my own token (e.g. gridcoin).

nostr+lightning (via cash app or primal on-ramps to get normies to convert a few bucks to sats) is perfect for bootstrapping the network. especially if it's meant to be global on day 1. (bitcoin as global money ftw.)

i'm currently vibe coding a new testing tool/service heavily inspired by your work.

it's basically one huge nostr + lightning powered dvm system for web and mobile test automation + monitoring

sorry, i should have said that more clearly in the original post. thanks for clicking, though! if you were to use something like this in the future, what is the most important thing it needs to have or do?

it's a preview/mvp/proof-of-concept with dummy data showing all the (visible) parts of the system. hoping to add a real back-end with a nostr relay, blossom file server, and a few (real) cloud nodes this week.

new valet network preview just landed. simplified workflow. primary touch point should be like google or chatgpt with just a field and a button. it's even "lazy mode" optimized. if you just want to see it work, you don't even have to enter any text. just hit the button!

(valet network is a new web and mobile software testing platform. nostr and lightning powered!)

a lotta y’all still don’t get it

corebot holders can use multiple flux cores on a single unit

so if you have 1 corebot and 3 flux cores you can mint 3 new bots

tonight’s flux core ignition event is essentially a minting event for both nightline models and signalphase variants

uh-oh, it looks like i'm an nft creator now...

gm. we've got a latte do!

oddbean.com is a decent-ish hn/reddit style interface into nostr events. most people don't know it exists, though. And it could still use some more ux polish, too.

stay humble and stack waffles πŸ§‡ #foodstr

answer: no (source: primal support)

no big deal, though. life on the edge, baby! it was actually kinda fun rigging up a python script to drive the app over adb, take screenshots, ask my favorite chatbot what it sees, and save the transaction data to a json file for later processing into a spreadsheet. downside: my favorite chatbot now knows everyone i sent sats to.
