I think comments here are unfairly harsh. I really like this innovative idea of having a dedicated language. If it can see client-side rendered HTML (e.g. React, Vue, etc...), that would be a whole another level for me since I don't think this has been made before.

It can! :)

Great! ^_^

I feel the same here, architecturally I've never liked scrapers which are tightly coupled within a service. Websites are prone to sudden change and it seems unsustainable to redeploy each time a selector changes, it's pretty innovative to leverage the power of *QL for this sort of problem.

Yes! This is one of the reasons why I wanted to be able making these changes without redeploying the whole thing!
