Playwright is great, phantom.js was great back in the day.
But this is interesting to me, because Deno is a much more ergonomic, quick-to-start environment for simple tasks like "go to this website and scrape this data once an hour, and provide the latest results via a simple HTTP GET / web page".
I sometimes do that with Playwright, and it's easy, but I feel like it could be done with Deno in the time it takes to init an NPM project and get everything installed.
