I made a Chrome extension that records Robot Framework tests (Zelector)— would love your feedback

Hey guys :waving_hand:

I just built a Chrome extension for recording Robot Framework tests. You click around a page like normal, it watches what you do, and you get a .robot file you can run straight away. It also works like an inspect-element tool — hover anything and it shows you the locators it found, ranked, with the reason it picked one over another, so you can grab a selector without opening DevTools. The part I care about most is the waits: it doesn’t dump Sleep 2 everywhere, it watches what the page actually did after each click (spinner appeared and went, URL changed, request finished) and writes the right wait for it. It’s free and runs entirely in your browser — no account, no server.

Would really appreciate if you could give it a try and tell me where it breaks :folded_hands: If a recording doesn’t run, send me the .robot file and the site and I’ll fix it.
