Show HN: Automize – I hate writing web tests so I wrote a Chrome extension

Whenever I write my integration tests or writing a script to scrape a website 90+% of my time is spent fiddling around with selectors. I absolutely hate all the test recorders because most of the time their selectors are so bad that it would have just been faster to do it myself. This lead me to create my chrome extension called Automize. It's basically just the chrome dev tools "elements" tab, except you can click specific attributes to hone in on a reliable selector. It will highlight the element live so that you can verify it works before moving it into your code base.
