This looks interesting, but i'm not sure in what proportion it will automate my work. For example, i need to take a screenshot everyday of the same website. From what i see on ATS, i just enter the link and then i download the picture. This is good, it eliminates a step or two from my current process, but truly automation for this shit will be if i setup thi… See more

@cosminbaluta There are plenty apps for automated screenshots. I actually build one for myself: https://www.custodee.com it is manly for tracking website changes but will also take a screenshots every day. The last 10 days are always stored and can be exported.

@cosminbaluta Hey Cosmin, thanks for joining! Once we get our job scheduling mechanism functional, you will be able to do exactly what you're describing: Enter the URL once, schedule the screenshots, and the receive regular emails with the results.

@tonyschumaker Custodee looks awesome, nice work. That's certainly part of where we're headed, probably without the focus on competitors, but I think that's a great angle.

@jeremyltn Thanks! I am not really putting that much energy into it, because I build it just for myself. I just keep it online because it is useful for some users but my focus is on other projects. :)

The idea is good. What I'm missing is the real "automation". Some type of scheduler or something like that.

@csaba_kissi Hi Csaba, thanks for the comment. Building in some scheduling & pipelining features is actually where we're headed next. As we continue development based on user-feedback, I believe more of the true automation work will be builtin.

Nice service! I will check your website out from time to time to see what automation you will add in the future! :)

Co-founder here. We're very excited to be featured on Product Hunt, and would love to discuss any thoughts you all have about ATS. If you have a chance, we're also curious if these kinds of tools would be useful to you, and what other tools or capabilities you'd be looking for to automate some of your more tedious work challenges - and we might end up buildi… See more

@jeremyltn A brilliant yet almost simple idea that no one bothered to come up with until now. Tried out the product and loved it. Excited to see future integrations and automations in ATS! Just a suggestion, you could crowdsource future automation/integration ideas every few weeks or a month to help you choose what the people want and make it more functional… See more

@iamadityashth Thanks! Internally we are using the feedback we've gotten here and elsewhere to help determine which features we work on next, but I like the idea of making that open and crowdsourced. Perhaps we'll implement something like that in the future. Thanks again for the feedback and suggestion!

Hey guys, with the square modular buttons on the site - I can't click them. Some have 'launch' some don't. I'm on Safari on a Mac.

Jeremy Litten@jeremyltn · Co-founder, Automate That Shit
@craigjbarber Thanks for the feedback. I just tested on OSX Safari and it seems to be working for me. Do you mean you can't click on the "Launch" buttons or something else? Would you mind sending me a screenshot of what you're seeing?

Waseem Shabout@wshabout · Partner @JinnTech
@jeremyltn @craigjbarber I think you guys must have been doing dev on a larger screen because some of the launch buttons don't "Fit" in the card ui element you put together for each different automation. For example I have to zoom out to at least 75% on "Extract Named Entities" to actually view the launch button.

Jeremy Litten@jeremyltn · Co-founder, Automate That Shit
@wshabout @craigjbarber Thanks for letting us know. I did notice that gets cut off at certain screen sizes that button starts to disappear, but never actually had saw it go away, and I'm on a 15 inch non-retina display. But thanks again, and I will certainly check that out.

I love the concept. I'm still don't understand how you set it up only once. Dope🚬🚬

Jeremy Litten@jeremyltn · Co-founder, Automate That Shit
@dredurr Thanks! Not sure exactly what you mean, but if you're talking about setting these tools up to run without you going to the page and manually inputing values every time, that's what we're working on next. If you subscribe to the beta list we'll let you know when that's ready :)

Bruno Skvorc@bitfalls · I work at SitePoint and Diffbot.com
Marginally related product: Diffbot (https://www.diffbot.com/) for extracting data from web pages. True automation (scheduling), decent API, and vision-driven parsing (customizable extraction) of URLs means it doesn't get fooled by meta tags, JS, and such, unless you want it to.

Jeremy Litten@jeremyltn · Co-founder, Automate That Shit
@bitfalls Thanks for the comment. Yup, I've certainly come across Diffbot before, and it seems like a great product. Some of that functionality is where we're looking to go, but I think with less of a focus on crawling and scraping tools (although they will certainly be vital to our offerings) and more of a focus on what we can do to help you eliminate repet… See more

@jeremyltn this is awesome - really great productivity tool. Are there plans to categorize the automations based on specific job roles they help? Would be cool to see an About page to learn more about the team/company
Upvote·
Jeremy Litten@jeremyltn · Co-founder, Automate That Shit
@joshlowy Thanks! Yeah, categorization is something we've discussed, and will certainly be adding as we continue to expand the tool set. But I hadn't thought of categorizing by job roles, that's a good idea. About page is also a good call, low on the priorities as we're still in heavy development, but will add it the list. Thanks again for the feedback.

I love this concept! Automating repetitive tasks is a major reason why I got into software development so I have a great deal of affection for this concept. I am curious about your developer API, though. You mention it next to the signup but I can't seem to find info about it. Nice work so far!

Smokie@xtoq · Smokie Does Stuff
Great look of the website so far, but it would be so much more impactful to have different images behind each of the cards instead of the same sad laptop. If you can't do different images, then I would suggest replacing the image with colors or even patterns; anything to let users know that those are different elements because right now it looks like 9 of th… See more
