  Congrats on the launch. One complaint: RPA this, non-RPA that, but you never explain what it means. I would write down the acronym fully once at the first mention on the landing page.

    Its an acronym for Robotic Process Automation. It usually means triggering mouse clicks and key stokes to perform tasks

    It's a script that simulates clicks/keystrokes on Desktop/Web

  Could you use this to test new releases of software for bugs? A bit like TDD but for GUI interactions
