🚀 Meet Loopi: The Open-Source Visual Automation Tool I Wish I Had Years Ago

For years, I automated browser tasks the “normal” way — with long Playwright or Selenium scripts. It worked… but it was slow, messy, and painful to debug at 3 AM.

So I built Loopi, an open-source, visual browser automation tool that makes automation feel more like designing a flow in Figma than writing a script.

This is the story and the tool.

Why I Built Loopi

Browser automation is powerful, but the developer experience hasn’t improved much:

  • You write long scripts for simple tasks
  • You maintain selectors manually
  • One small UI change breaks everything
  • Debugging becomes a time-sink
  • Sharing automation with teammates is messy

I wanted something that was:

  • Fast to build
  • Easy to debug
  • Visual
  • Open-source

Friendly to both coders and non-coders

Loopi is that tool.
