Markdown Notestaking

Some notestaking apps you should give a try. At least Notion is very promising (yet you have to pay)

• Notestaking Apps Comparision
• Notion is a superb alternative to Evernote 8yet does not have Markdown)
• Boostnote is pretty promosing yet has some bugs
• VNote is said to be also very good for developers
• joplin is an alternative to Evernote

Note: In the end I go with Visual Studio Code and it’s Markdown Editors. Boostnote was the best free application (yet with bugs). Notion is the best paid app matching for my requirements ;)

Web Scraping and Acceptance Testing

• Puppeteer by Google build around Chrome DevTools protocol
• Nightmare is built on top of Electron and uses JSDOM directly. It's said to be about 3-4x faster than Puppeteer or Selenium/WebDriverIO. About 2x times faster than phantomjs.
• DayDream Macro Recorder for puppeteer and nightmare
• CodeCeption JavaScript Acceptance Testing can use several drivers
• Scraping infinite scrolling with puppeteer
• Niffy Perceptial Testing on top of Nightmare.
• WebDriverIO

Forget PhantomJS or Selenium! Nightmare is the shit if you wanna quickly scrap data or need a background browser. Of course Acceptance Testing should be done with WebDriveIO.
