2 ideas here as well, both around micro-automations I use in my daily workflow to become more productive

  1. My favorite tools (windows/mac) for opening, visiting, searching web pages
  2. My favorite tools (windows/mac) that I use to interact with websites/applications in way that frees up brain power, and speeds up my testing.

I found a tool a while ago which maybe is not well known. It is Wave and I will make a video how this Chrome extension can help with accesibility testing

@restertest Thank you so much for your videos, they’re brilliant.

@utchbe I wonder if you could do both in a ten minute video under the banner of ‘micro-automations’?

@lgibbs Notetaking would be great. I’d like for the shorts to be a wide range of testing tips and that idea is a bit different to the tools based ones we’ve got so far.

@mwinteringham - I have more ideas for videos. Is it ok if I just add the videos to the Upload page, or do I need first to write them here?

Nope, feel free to add. Although can you add your name to the files so I know they are from you.

Hi there!

I’ve uploaded a video to Wistia explaining the structure of a Json Web Token, and how we can create it programmatically using Postman. Hope you find it useful!

It may be just me but I cannot view the uplaoded videos anymore. @mwinteringham - is it working for you?

Small question: does it have to be recorded with a camera or can it just be screen-view & voice?

Screenview and voice will suffice. That’s what I used.
