Adding configurable proxies for API-based execution

Hey PH - today we re rolling out configurable proxies for API-based execution in BrowserBook.

One of the most common reasons browser automations fail in production is bot detection. Captchas, IP reputation issues, geo restrictions, and rate limits can derail even solid Playwright workflows once you start running them at scale.

How do you approach demos for your product?

As users, we all want to try a product before committing. As builders, we want to show real value without over-engineering and investing time 'just for show'. Finding that balance is harder than it looks.

I just shipped my demo for Rewo (https://rewo.app), and intentionally went with a live, real demo:

  • Fully functional product (same codebase as prod)

  • Uses demo data instead of real integrations

  • Some interfacing + sync pieces are disabled

  • Auto-resets on a schedule so anyone can jump in fresh
