Automate everything via NodeJS and Puppeteer
summary
Demonstrates that Node.js plus Puppeteer automates end-to-end workflows: a YouTube→Anchor.fm mp3 pipeline running in GitHub Actions that converts video to mp3, signs in, fills metadata and publishes to 10 platforms despite Anchor lacking an API, and a Skyscanner private‑API scraper used since 2018 to find cheapest flights. Shows a Lighthouse test flow with auth support, uses Docker for deployment, publishes the code open source, and reports the Anchor automation works and others adopt the GitHub Action.
