Is this purely for analytics and listening for events? I would like the opposite, walking through an event list to mechanize UI on the frontend without an extension or from node (just via a front-end script tag). I bookmarked something like this once.

We focus on analytics, yes. But you can also achieve your goal with it as far as I understood. Once you've described a page you can work with selectors pretty well.

document.querySelector('[data-elb="product"][data-elbaction="click:add"]').click();

Also good to test correct implementations with Selenium e.g. It's way more robust than working with CSS classes. Just work with the attribute selectors.

Could you describe one or more Event sequences you would mechanize / script in this way and why?

Curious to understand more about the use case you’re describing.

it's complicated ;) Why do you think you can help?
