ah this is actually quite valuable because it utilizes CV

I'm kinda surprised why you chose to open source this instead of slapping AGPLv3 like all the YC funded github projects are doing

Haha we are not unique there. We chose AGPL-3 as well -- become some would argue it's like an open source virus -- everything it touches must become open source! How exciting.

suchintan are you on X by any chance

how can i contact you

I did desktop UI testing a couple years ago on Windows apps, and the standards solution there is to use UI Automation, which itself works by sending messages to each app that makes them run internal queries to find elements.

It seems like quite the intuitive approach, but we quickly discovered that due to differing implementations, and the reliance on the apps actually cooperating with you, it's actually so much more reliable and much faster to use OpenCV to physically detect UI elements by appearance.

Regarding "instead of": AGPL is open source too

[anonzzzies]

Might as well not be for many companies; I know many who are not allowed to even glance at AGPL code for fear of getting infected (and sued).
