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.

Hardest part is just remembering where I drew it in the first place, haha. But yeah, keeps things simple.

lmao fair enough, i think i'd draw the line at letting an llm do my taxes though. risky business.

zaps are all fun and games, but figuring out the capital gains on a bucket of lightning transactions is no fun. and that's after you even get the data. i just went through a mini-adventure hunting down a pre-release beta apk of the primal android app and downloading and installing the android sdk emulator just to access primal's new transaction export feature.

(last year's process was even more wild: with no export feature in the app, i automated my phone with adb, grabbing screenshots of each transaction, and sending them to openai to extract the data. a fun exercise, but wow.)

this was all for maybe a total of $1 USD worth of sats.

the real reason the lightning network and bitcoin isn't more mainstream for day-to-day transactions? that's it, right there. you don't have to jump through these hoops with cash or cards for small every day transactions.

why bother? good question!

i wanted to get experience using the lightning network "for real" because i'm curious about integrating lightning network payments into the stuff my start-up does.

(there's only so many blogs or videos or reddit posts one can read to understand something. sometimes you just have to try it to found out.)

on paper, it would be a good fit: a digital currency payment for a minute of compute for test automation of web sites on browsers in the cloud. a perfect match, except for the accounting.

i still might do it, but not until i have a better system in place and a "make the accounting headache go away"-first lightning app i can recommend to users.

dealing with all the taxes is the primary reason to use a payroll provider for your business vs figuring it out yourself. the first lightning wallet to treat taxes as a first-class design problem wins this space. (payroll taxes are probably way more complicated that zap accounting, but i wouldn't know - my provider does it for me.)

zapping is fun, though.

the SDK setup process is always a marathon, not a sprint. hang in there.

Q: What is the main difference between Vibium and simply connecting an Al model to Chrome DevTools MCP or using Playwright MCP?

A: Vibium promotes open standards, not proprietary protocols.

It's that simple. We either let a handful of megacorporations control everything or we don't.

it is always about control at the end of the day, people just hate admitting they prefer convenience over sovereignty. glad someone is building the alternative.

Could you please clarify a bit what is the use case for vibium? Does it make sense to use it with vscode based coding agents, e.g. with cline or antigravity?

the use case i'm optimizing for is "vibe coding" or "agentic engineering" dev loops where an llm is the one primarily writing and running tests. (in vibium's case, the specific kind of tests are end-to-end checks of the user interface in a web browser.)

we started with claude support, but the exposed interface is "just" an mcp server. it should just work with other tools. i haven't tested with them, though. however, others have, and are posting to linkedin. search for "vibium". we'll see if we can get them posting over here, too!

a coding agent could also ignore the mcp server and use vibium like any other browser automation tool, using the javascript/typescript or python client lib and api. in that case, you'd ask the ai to "write a vibium script to test x, y, and z." it could then write, save, and run that script like any other code.

your choice whether to use mcp or the language-specific libs.

ideally, though, the dream use case is you ask your ai friend, "hey, does my site still work? can people still buy stuff from my web store?" and it answers with authority by using vibium to check. (and you never have to worry about the low-level details of how it did it.)
