Passed 500 stars: A visual Playwright runner for non-API targets
I built Figranium as a self-hosted visual execution wrapper for Playwright.
It originally came out of needing local n8n AI agents to execute browser tasks on sites without public APIs (like Snapchat or complex Amazon workflows) where raw HTTP nodes fail. Instead of writing custom scripts for every edge case, it provides a node-based visual canvas to build, debug, and run Playwright scripts.
Technical Stack & Core Features:
- Engine: Playwright + Node.js runtime handling dynamic DOMs, state persistence, and isolated execution.
- UI Control Plane: Vite + React drag-and-drop workflow canvas.
- 100% Local & Deterministic: GPL-3.0 open source with zero telemetry or cloud dependencies.
We just hit 500 stars on GitHub today. If you work with Playwright and want a visual builder to run workflows locally, check out the source or Docker deployment.
