theheadless.dev: In-depth Puppeteer and Playwright guides from the trenches

Hi 🖖, I'm Tim and me and my team just launched https://theheadless.dev, a free & open source knowledge base for practical, real life usage of headless browser frameworks like Puppeteer and Playwright. theheadless.dev focusses on three things: ✅ Full E2E scenarios running against a test site, ready-to-run. ✅ Challenging scenarios like handling auth, test data and scraping. ✅ Free, open source and community driven content updated every week! You might know me as the creator of products like https://github.com/checkly/puppe... and https://checklyhq.com So why the heck did we launch this? Puppeteer and Playwright are both open source node.js. frameworks for automating web browsers. They are very popular, but there is a lack of practical guides that go beyond the API documentation. My company relies heavily on Puppeteer — and soon Playwright — so we see a lot of interesting scenarios from our customers every day. So why not give that knowledge back to the community? After weeks of hard work I'm super happy to share the results with you today. Special thanks to my team at Checkly and the great feedback from the Puppeteer team at Google and Playwright team at Microsoft! Questions, suggestions? Shoot! P.S. My coworker Giovanni who was the main driver behind this wrote a longer post on the process of making theheadless.dev https://blog.checklyhq.com/writi...
