6 months ago, we launched Maxun, an open-source tool to scrape websites without writing code. You just:

  1. Record your actions (click here, scroll there).
  2. Save it as a robot (it repeats exactly what you did).
  3. Get clean data (CSV/API/JSON).

Today, we hit 10M rows extracted and 12.6K GitHub stars.

Why it works:

  • Self-hosted (no limits, no tracking).
  • Stupid simple (you can browse, you can scrape).
  • Robots are predictable & deterministic.

Example: Extracting YC Spring Batch 2025 Companies

Note: We’re still early and improving fast. Your feedback shapes what we build next - try it and tell us what sucks! Be honest.

Question for you

What’s the one site you wish you could scrape easily but can’t? (Maybe we can help.)
