This is a great breakdown, especially the part about how modern frontend architectures make scraping much harder than it initially seems. It really shows how different today’s web apps are compared to more static sites. One interesting side effect of this is that discovering tools or extracting useful workflows from existing apps becomes less straightforward as everything gets more dynamic and protected. I’ve seen some early attempts to approach this from a different angle, like https://unstore.io, where web apps are surfaced more intentionally instead of being discovered indirectly. Feels like as the web evolves, we might need better ways to navigate what’s already built rather than relying on workarounds like scraping.
