Currently building Vibium - a new browser automation tool for robots and humans. Open source software, test automation, startups, and any art involving motors and lights are my thing. Started Selenium and Appium projects.
gm. latte do today!
zaps are all fun and games, but figuring out the capital gains on a bucket of lightning transactions is no fun. and that's after you even get the data. i just went through a mini-adventure hunting down a pre-release beta apk of the primal android app and downloading and installing the android sdk emulator just to access primal's new transaction export feature.
(last year's process was even more wild: with no export feature in the app, i automated my phone with adb, grabbing screenshots of each transaction, and sending them to openai to extract the data. a fun exercise, but wow.)
this was all for maybe a total of $1 USD worth of sats.
the real reason the lightning network and bitcoin isn't more mainstream for day-to-day transactions? that's it, right there. you don't have to jump through these hoops with cash or cards for small every day transactions.
why bother? good question!
i wanted to get experience using the lightning network "for real" because i'm curious about integrating lightning network payments into the stuff my start-up does.
(there's only so many blogs or videos or reddit posts one can read to understand something. sometimes you just have to try it to found out.)
on paper, it would be a good fit: a digital currency payment for a minute of compute for test automation of web sites on browsers in the cloud. a perfect match, except for the accounting.
i still might do it, but not until i have a better system in place and a "make the accounting headache go away"-first lightning app i can recommend to users.
dealing with all the taxes is the primary reason to use a payroll provider for your business vs figuring it out yourself. the first lightning wallet to treat taxes as a first-class design problem wins this space. (payroll taxes are probably way more complicated that zap accounting, but i wouldn't know - my provider does it for me.)
zapping is fun, though.
Q: What is the main difference between Vibium and simply connecting an Al model to Chrome DevTools MCP or using Playwright MCP?
A: Vibium promotes open standards, not proprietary protocols.
It's that simple. We either let a handful of megacorporations control everything or we don't.
gm! 🧡☕
gm!
psa: i like vanity metrics. i am extremely vain.
the vibium github repo needs more stars.
tell a friend!
⭐
promote open standards 🦾
pip install vibium 🥂🎉🎆
is nostr dying? this doesn't seem great:
(via https://stats.nostr.band/)
npm install vibium
waiting for vibium v1 to ship...
gm! we have a latte do!
i'm jason huggins, it's september 12, 2025, and linkedin has frozen my account for 24 hours for suspected bot activity. this is my story.
(this is also an ad for #nostr)
i want to make nostr *the* home for talking about vibe coding and vibe check/testing. i have 5k new linkedin followers in the last week because of my new project, #vibium. i've started to tell them to come over and create nostr keys/accounts, and some have started doing that. it could happen. we can make it happen. #YouCanJustDoStuff #NoGates #NoGatekeepers
How Vibium Could Become the Selenium for AI Testing with Jason Huggins
i like big lattes and i cannot lie...
my latte art technique is so close, i can taste it
i made a test site to test testing tools called test track. it now also has a test track.
(i'm planning to use the site to compare and benchmark playwright vs puppeteer vs selenium webdriver vs lots of ai-powered options that are available now.)
