    Looking for beta testers for a Web Scraping app

    I just released the beta version of my app at "heliumscraper.com". Wonder if anyone here is interested in testing it. You just need to register and download it. And if anyone knows where can I find more people to test it. I know there is plenty of people buying Web Scraping applications, so there should be plenty of people interested on testing a free one.

    So, did you try it? What do you think? I really need some other people's opinion.

    Yes it can. It can scrape anything that is on the web. You can check the video on the web. It also comes with a documentation.

    Forum scraping might be more work than it is to just get fresh records. That is a lot of editing and review.
