Your All-in-One AI Web Agent: Save $200+ a Month, Unleash Limitless Possibilities!

Imagine having an AI agent that costs you nothing monthly, runs directly on your computer, and is unrestricted in its capabilities. OpenAI Operator charges up to $200/month for limited API calls and restricts access to many tasks like visiting thousands of websites. With DeepSeek-R1 and Browser-Use, you:

• Save money while keeping everything local and private.

• Automate visiting 100,000+ websites, gathering data, filling forms, and navigating like a human.

• Gain total freedom to explore, scrape, and interact with the web like never before.

You may have heard about Operator from Open AI that runs on their computer in some cloud with you passing on private information to their AI to so anything useful. AND you pay for the gift . It is not paranoid to not want you passwords and logins and personal details to be shared. OpenAI of course charges a substantial amount of money for something that will limit exactly what sites you can visit, like YouTube for example. With this method you will start telling an AI exactly what you want it to do, in plain language, and watching it navigate the web, gather information, and make decisions—all without writing a single line of code.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to build an AI agent that performs tasks like scraping news, analyzing social media mentions, and making predictions using DeepSeek-R1 and Browser-Use, but instead of writing a Python script, you’ll interact with the AI directly using prompts.

These instructions are in constant revisions as DeepSeek R1 is days old. Browser Use has been a standard for quite a while. This method can be for people who are new to AI and programming. It may seem technical at first, but by the end of this guide, you’ll feel confident using your AI agent to perform a variety of tasks, all by talking to it. how, if you look at these instructions and it seems to overwhelming, wait, we will have a single download app soon. It is in testing now.

This is version 3.0 of these instructions January 26th, 2025.

This guide will walk you through setting up DeepSeek-R1 8B (4-bit) and Browser-Use Web UI, ensuring even the most novice users succeed.

do you have any examples of tech documents uve written? ive become interested in it lately especially hearing about ur experiences ..

i can't share actual work samples because like. that would be doxxing myself lol. but i can share that when i interviewed with one particularly large company they used a standard test of:

a casual guide for tic tac toe

simple api documentation

and while i ducked out of the interviews due to location conflicts, they gave me really good reviews about how these turned out, so i guess they might be useful to see what interviewers like?

the below screenshots aren't the versions i submitted (i made some minor wording adjustments and fixed a few typos) but they should give you the gist of it

the jobs i've had varied a lot, my first role was very much like the tic tac toe theme lmao (but with actual software and not like. a game). my second role was pure api documentation (specifically AWS and rabbitmq) and was basically like the second sample but much, much denser. my current one is a mix of the two. if you have any background in coding it goes a LONG way in this industry because it lets you work in "real" tech (i.e., with engineers directly). there's no shortage of writers who can write guides like the first and it will be extremely difficult to get your foot in the door if you only pursue that route, but i've never had issues finding opportunities when looking for jobs like the second

most big companies have really specific standards for writing so you need to be good at following instructions lol. like for example at my first job we had an extremely strict limit of 16 words for most sentences and 21 in rare cases. generally, the more casual a document is = the more liberty you have but there will always be rules you need to follow and you'll rarely receive a document and be allowed to write it freely, at least not in an established company. i work at a start up right now and i get to do whatever i want but that's because i'm the only writer. i try to avoid fluff words but in some cases companies do request it to "soften" sentences (you can see this a lot in the first example).

i think the most difficult part of the job is just writing what you need to write while under constraints put in by people who are often not writing. the sentence length thing is important for api documentation though i will admit. and it's not that difficult to follow when you're looking out for it even though i have chronic run on usage in my daily life

Best Practices for Successful Automation Testing Implementation 

Automation testing is an essential part of modern-day software development that accelerates delivery, reduces manual work, and improves software quality. But success in automation testing is not assured, it should be achieved by proper planning and execution along with proper compliance of best practices. 

In this blog, we will talk about key actionable strategies and best practices to ensure the successful implementation of automation testing in your projects. 

1. Start with a Clear Strategy 

Jumping straight into automation testing without a clear strategy will not always yield the desired results. Define the following: 

Objectives: Define the goals of the automation, whether it is about shorter test cycles, improved test coverage or eliminating human error. 

Scope: Set the areas of your application for automation and focus much on areas that have a high impact like regression and functional testing. 

Stakeholders: Get early involvement from the development, QA and product teams to avoid misalignment regarding expectations. 

A well-formed strategy helps guide the way and make sure everyone involved is aligned. 

2. Prioritize the Right Test Cases for Automation 

One of automation testing’s biggest mistakes with it is to use automation for everything. Rather than that, shape your test cases to that of: 

Are monotonous and time-consuming. 

Wherein critical for application functionality 

Have stable requirements. 

Some of these tests are regression tests, smoke tests, data-driven tests, etc. Do not automate the exploratory or highly dynamic tests that often get changed. 

3. Choose the Right Automation Tools 

The effectiveness of your automation testing initiative highly relies on appropriate tools selection. Look for tools that: 

Support the technology stack of your application (e.g., web, mobile, APIs). 

Give the flexibility to expand your project. 

Offer extensive reporting, reusability of scripts, and run across browsers. 

GhostQA is one example of a codeless platform that works well for teams across the skill set. GhostQA can let you focus on what matters and Auto Healing reduces your maintenance to enforce. 

4. Build a Strong Automation Framework 

An automation framework is the backbone of your automation testing process. It helps in standardization, reusability and scalability of test scripts. So, when you start designing your framework, make sure to leave some room for these features: 

Modularity: Split test scripts into reusable components 

Data-Driven Testing: Use Data-Driven Testing to separate test data from the scripts to provide flexibility. 

Error Handling: Install anti-malware solutions to prevent potential threats. 

A good framework streamlines collaboration and makes it easier to maintain your tests. 

5. Write High-Quality Test Scripts 

A good test script decides the reliability of your automation testing. To ensure script quality: 

When naming scripts, variables, or methods, use meaningful and descriptive names. 

For adaptability, you should leverage parameterization instead of hardcoding these values. 

Set up appropriate error-handling procedures for handling unforeseen problems. 

Do not add anything unnecessarily, the more complexity, the more difficult it is to debug and maintain. 

Tools such as GhostQA minimize the efforts put behind scripting providing no-code possibilities allowing even non-technical users to write robust tests. 

6. Regularly Maintain Your Automation Suite 

Even though automation testing is a great way to ensure quality in applications, one of its biggest challenges is keeping the test scripts updated with application changes. Keeping your test suite effective and up to date, regular maintenance. 

Best practices for maintenance include: 

Frequent Reviews: Conduct periodic audit of the test scripts to ensure that they are not outdated. 

Version Control: Utilize version control systems to maintain history of your script modifications. 

Auto-Healing Features: GhostQA and similar tools can track UI updates and modify scripts to reflect changes with little to no human intervention, minimizing maintenance costs. 

Take good care of your automation suite so that it doesn't become a liability. 

7. Address Flaky Tests 

Flaky tests—tests that pass or fail randomly—are a common issue in automation testing. They reduce trust in test results and take up time when debugging. To address flaky tests: 

Dig deeper into what might be the underlying causes — timing problems or dynamic elements. 

Use explicit waits instead of static waiting in tests to make them aligned with application behavior. 

Prefer smart detection-based tools (GhostQA, to be precise) to eliminate the chances of flaky tests. 

This translates into flourish as flakiness and is the most significant impact in strengthening confidence in your automation framework. 

8. Ensure Cross-Browser and Cross-Platform Compatibility 

Most modern applications work across many browsers and devices, so cross-compatibility testing is a necessity. Your automation testing suite must: 

Add test cases for popular browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari. 

Testing across different operating systems on mobile (e.g., iOS/Android). 

GhostQA abstracts cross-browser and cross-platform testing so you can verify functionality in several types of environments without repeating yourself. 

9. Leverage AI and Smart Automation 

AI is revolutionizing automation testing with better efficiency and lesser maintenance cost. Next-generation tools like GhostQA powered by AI offer: 

Auto-Healing: Automatically adjust to any changes made to the app;such as modified UI elements 

Predictive Analysis: Showcase areas with the most potential high risk to prioritize tests. 

Optimized Execution: Run just the tests that yield the most performance insights. 

Use AI-Powered Tools as these can help you to increase the efficiency and accuracy of your testing. 

10. Monitor and Measure Performance 

To measure the effectiveness of your automation testing, you should track key metrics that include: 

Test Coverage: Number of automated tests covering application features. 

Execution Time: Time taken to execute automated test suites. 

Defect Detection Rate: Number of bugs detected in automation testing 

Flaky Test Rate: Frequency of inconsistent test results. 

Consistent assessment of these metrics helps in discovering the areas of improvement in your automation efforts while also exhibiting the ROI of the same. 

Conclusion 

So, the right approach of selecting the right tool and plan properly will help to do a successful automation testing implementation. This could be achieved by adopting best practices like prioritizing test cases, maintaining test scripts, making use of the AI-powered tools and collaborating with other stakeholders in the process. 

Tools like GhostQA, which come equipped with codeless testing, auto-healing features, and user-friendly interfaces, empower teams of both technical and non-technical backgrounds to streamline their automation processes and devote their attention to shipping quality software.

how is one supposed to work a 9-5 job with brain fog. i took thursday off because of how bad mentally i was and how foggy i was, but i don't have the pto to take multiple days off so i went to work Friday. and like, i was screensharing with my like, mentor/coworker and they were trying to guide me through API testing and like, i kept forgetting what he said right when he said it, or misunderstanding what he was telling me, and like he would ask me to think out loud and brainstorm ideas for testing this thing and like the words he was saying were barely in my head let alone thoughts of what things i should try to check this API. and like not to mention how slow i was typing and how i kept being way off with where i was supposed to be clicking and kept navigating to the wrong tabs and this was all while screensharing with my coworkers and like i already have a fear that they think I'm incompetent and are babying me. and like i also just am like. why did i major in computers. I'm not using nearly any of that knowledge for work, and its a job that requires using keyboards and doing math and logic things. it feels like i metaphorically would have been just as well majored in like Running, in that at its core i cannot do the key parts that are required. I'm dumb and have horrible brain fog and physical disability that gives me fatigue and difficulty using a keyboard and doing complicated logic things, and i spent 5 years and got 22k in debt majoring in Using Keyboard And Doing Complex Logic.

Key Components Influencing the Cost for Developing a Binance Clone

Developing a cryptocurrency exchange platform similar to Binance requires careful consideration of various components that significantly influence development costs. Binance, known for its robust trading engine, extensive cryptocurrency support, advanced security measures, and user-friendly interface, sets a high standard in the industry. Entrepreneurs and businesses embarking on the journey to create a Binance clone must understand the key components and factors that impact development expenses. This guide explores essential components and considerations influencing the cost for developing a Binance clone, providing valuable insights and strategies for effective budgeting and planning.

1. Trading Engine

The trading engine is the heart of any cryptocurrency exchange platform, including a Binance clone. It facilitates the matching of buy and sell orders in real-time, ensuring efficient and secure transactions. The complexity and scalability of the trading engine significantly impact development costs:

Basic Order Matching: Implementing basic order matching algorithms is more cost-effective but may limit scalability during peak trading periods.

Advanced Order Types: Supporting advanced order types such as limit orders, market orders, stop-limit orders, and conditional orders requires sophisticated algorithms and increases development complexity and costs.

Scalability: Designing a scalable trading engine capable of handling high transaction volumes and market volatility entails additional development efforts and infrastructure costs.

2. User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX)

A well-designed UI/UX is essential for attracting and retaining users on a cryptocurrency exchange platform. Factors influencing UI/UX design and development costs include:

Responsive Design: Ensuring seamless user experience across devices (desktop, mobile, tablet) requires adaptive and responsive design practices.

Intuitive Navigation: Simplifying navigation flows and enhancing user interaction through intuitive design elements and visual cues improves usability but adds to development costs.

Customization: Offering customizable dashboard layouts, theme options, and personalized user settings enhances user engagement but requires additional design and development efforts.

3. Security Features

Security is paramount in cryptocurrency exchanges to protect user funds, data, and transactions from cyber threats and vulnerabilities. Key security features influencing development costs include:

Encryption: Implementing robust encryption protocols (e.g., SSL/TLS) to secure data transmission and storage adds to development expenses.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Integrating 2FA for user accounts enhances security but requires additional development and integration efforts.

Cold Wallet Storage: Supporting cold wallet storage solutions for storing a significant portion of user funds offline enhances security but entails setup and maintenance costs.

Security Audits: Conducting regular security audits and penetration testing to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities and compliance risks is crucial but adds to ongoing operational costs.

4. Cryptocurrency Support and Wallet Integration

Supporting a wide range of cryptocurrencies and integrating seamless wallet solutions are essential for catering to diverse user preferences and market demands:

Cryptocurrency Integration: Adding support for multiple cryptocurrencies (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple) requires integration with blockchain networks and APIs, influencing development complexity and costs.

Wallet Integration: Seamless integration with external cryptocurrency wallets for deposits, withdrawals, and transfers enhances user convenience but necessitates additional development and testing efforts.

5. Regulatory Compliance

Navigating regulatory requirements and ensuring compliance with local and international laws is critical for operating a legitimate and secure cryptocurrency exchange:

KYC/AML Procedures: Implementing robust Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) procedures to verify user identities and monitor transactions for suspicious activities incurs development and operational costs.

Legal Consultations: Seeking legal counsel to interpret and comply with evolving regulatory frameworks adds to initial setup costs and ongoing compliance efforts.

6. Admin Panel and Backend Infrastructure

The admin panel and backend infrastructure form the operational backbone of a cryptocurrency exchange platform, influencing development costs in various ways:

Admin Dashboard: Developing a comprehensive admin dashboard for managing users, transactions, security settings, and platform operations requires backend development expertise and increases development costs.

Scalable Architecture: Designing a scalable backend architecture with load balancing, database management, and server infrastructure provisioning supports high availability and performance but requires initial investment in infrastructure setup and maintenance.

7. Customer Support and Community Engagement

Providing responsive customer support and fostering community engagement are crucial for user retention and platform credibility:

Support Channels: Establishing multiple support channels (e.g., ticketing system, live chat, email support) to address user inquiries and issues requires ongoing resource allocation and operational costs.

Community Management: Investing in community management strategies, including social media engagement, forums, and educational content, enhances user trust and platform adoption but adds to marketing and operational expenses.

Conclusion

Developing a Binance clone involves navigating various complexities and considerations that impact development costs. By understanding the key components influencing costs—such as the trading engine, UI/UX design, security features, cryptocurrency support, regulatory compliance, backend infrastructure, and customer support—entrepreneurs and businesses can effectively budget, plan, and execute their cryptocurrency exchange project.

Is Your Agile User Story Truly "Done"? The Power of a Definition of Done (DoD)

Is Your Agile User Story Truly "Done"? The Power of a Definition of Done (DoD) User stories are a cornerstone of Agile, capturing user needs in a concise format. However, simply completing the core functionality of a user story is not enough. We need a clear definition of what "done" actually means. This is where the Definition of Done (DoD) comes in. What is Definition of Done (DoD)? The Definition of Done is an agreed-upon set of items that must be completed before a project or user story can be considered complete. Why do we need DoD? It outlines the specific criteria a user story must meet before being considered truly "done." The DoD is a collaborative effort. Ideally, the entire Agile team (developers, scrum masters, product owners) should be involved in crafting it. This ensures everyone has a stake in meeting the defined criteria. Here are 10 essential validation points for a sample DoD, with room for customization as per project needs: ✅ Have key stakeholders reviewed and approved the completed user story, including sign-off from the Product Owner?. ✅ Are all functionalities within the user story confirmed through successful unit acceptance testing?. ✅ Have dedicated Quality Assurance (QA) tests been completed and passed, ensuring the user story meets quality standards?. ✅ Is all user story documentation, such as user guides and API references, complete, accurate, and up-to-date?. ✅ Are all open issues related to the user story fixed and verified as closed? ✅ For functionalities involving APIs, are all API references validated and documented for future reference?. ✅ Have clear steps been defined and validated to ensure seamless deployment of the user story to the intended environment(s)?. ✅ Have all smoke tests, designed to verify core functionalities, been successfully run and approved?. ✅ Were any non-functional requirements, such as performance, security, or accessibility, included in the scope of the user story? If so, have these aspects been reviewed and approved? ✅ Have all key stakeholders with a vested interest in the project provided their final sign-off on the completed user story? By incorporating these validation points into your DoD checklist, you can ensure a more comprehensive and robust definition of "done" for your Agile user stories. Please share your suggestions, and inputs in the comments below.

SugarCube v2.37.0 (aka the next update of SugarCube) is currently in alpha testing. A bunch of stuff will change (bug fixes, new macro, deprecated macros), especially with Saves. If you are interested in testing this new version and provide bug reports the link above mentions a public testing. You can download the alpha version on that page.

Head's up for creators: for most games created in SugarCube, the change will be minimal (or even unnoticeable). But if you use more advanced elements, some of the APIs, or custom macros, you may need to test things again and potentially fix things.

The release date of the new update is not yet available.

Mhhhh should I finish the SugarCube guide... or wait for the update to happen?
