Comment on Show HN: Crawlee – Web scraping and browser automation library for Node.js

Comments

In a way, I hate you, but at the same time I love you. It's because I'm working on something similar to get data for my product. Seems like I'm going to use Ampify instead to save my life.

Just a feedback from the developer point of view tho. I think the documentation (both clawlee & Apify) need some work. I took me a while get the difference between clawlee & other headless crawler like playwight etc.

Yeah, I agree, the functionality of the library is very rich so the focus now for new docs is to continue making it more streamlined and easier to navigate.

Crawlee is basically a big wrapper around open source tools like Puppeteer, Playwright, Cheerio (I would not call these crawlers though as they don't have any logic for enqueueing requests etc.)
