That's really interesting, thanks.

I worry that it's not going to replicate a real browser accurately enough, but I'm excited to try it out a bit.



Your worry is correct. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4896054 I've tried scraping with it, and it failed miserably on some sites.


Yeah, it's not mature enough yet.

We're also trying it for integration tests, as it is much quicker than Phantom or Selenium. Even there, where we control the standards-compliant site, it isn't quite good enough yet.

Would love to see more people helping make it so, though!
