Describe the feature you'd like

Basically just have a way to import cookies for sites that require login and have custom browser steps so it will click buttons then scrape so for example, on YouTube, it will click the accept button so it has more context on what the site is or just clicking past a newsletter sign up.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Hoarder users

It would be useful so the AI has more context about the page, rather than just a newsletter sign-up, allowing the user to use Hoarder the way it was intended: easily searching and tagging bookmarks.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

I think it can be done in puppeteer which I think this is using(I just asked github copilot to find out). I just got ChatGPT to help me code this:

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

(async () => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch({ headless: false });
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  
  await page.goto('https://www.youtube.com/');
  
  const searchQuery = 'Puppeteer tutorial';

  await page.type('input[name="search_query"]', searchQuery);
  
  await Promise.all([
    page.waitForNavigation(),
    page.click('button[aria-label="Search"]'),
  ]);
  
  await page.screenshot({ path: 'youtube_search_result.png' });

  await browser.close();
})();

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

Additional context

I tried searching for "automation", "Custom Clicks" and a few other terms so I don't think it exists

We're planning to support this by capturing the data from the browser itself directly as part of #172
