I feel like tools like this, which are intended to be used by developers for their own personal use, will have trouble succeeding if they aren't oss.

It would be nice if the documentation was available without having to download this, so people could see what the API is like.

It would also be super duper epic if this supported ESM properly.

Regarding ESM (ECMAScript modules), I did implement require() and module.exports to the best of my ability, so it should be pretty easy to modularize your scripts. But it doesn't have a Node.js runtime so I didn't focus too much on node_modules support, although in theory many packages should work fine.

Regarding online documentation, good idea, thanks! I'll try to add that this week. Although, the app is so much more than its API, which is what makes it so unique, and I think if people just look at the API itself, they don't quite get to feel the experience of using Autumn to create their own automation workflows, which is what I'm most proud of about Autumn.

I have updated the website to include the full and complete documentation, I hope this will help you to know whether you want to try Autumn!
