Add ability to run JS scripts during archiving with Playwright/Puppeteer

See original GitHub issue

https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer is fantastic for scripting actions on pages before making a screenshot or PDF.

I could add support for custom puppeteer scripts for certain urls that need a user action to be performed before archiving (e.g. logging in or closing a welcome message popup).

Puppeteer code looks like this:

        const browser = await puppeteer.launch({headless: false})
        const page = await browser.newPage()

        await page.goto('https://carbon.now.sh')

        const code_input = 'div.ReactCodeMirror div.CodeMirror-code > pre:nth-child(11)'
        await page.click(code_input)
        await page.keyboard.down('Meta')
        await page.keyboard.down('a')
        await page.keyboard.up('a')
        await page.keyboard.up('Meta')
        await page.keyboard.press('Backspace')

archive.is has a nice set of scripts that do things like expanding all Reddit threads or scrolling through Twitter timelines before taking a snapshot. This is the kind of thing I’ve seen develop a nice community around with youtube-dl.

Not yet but soon! It’s just in a gist right now. Will publish it once I’ve moved >50% of the old codebase into the new structure. I’m traveling in Mexico right now with limited work time but will keep everyone posted as it progresses!

The new design is quite exciting, I’m able to add new features as plugins with <10min of boilerplate work per feature.
