Show HN: Webbu - assistant for the browser

Hi HN! Fernando here. I want to show you the first version of Webbu (https://webbu.app/), an assistant, like Alexa, but for the browser. For example, you can change the color of a website by saying "make the background blue". We have all been spending more time in the browser, and Webbu wants to be right there with you, helping you get things done quickly. There's also a 1 min. demo video on the website.

This is just the first version and it doesn't have many skills but I want to put it out there early so that folks can contribute to it. Anyone can create skills and the project itself is open source (https://github.com/fersarr/webbu_backend). If there is any revenue in the future, it will be shared with all the skill creators and open source contributors.

I will shortly create a tutorial on how to create skills. Basically, you can do it in a no-code fashion by using a combination of steps like "type text", "change style", "open a URL", etc. Additionally, you will be able to create skills programmatically in the backend.

Thanks for reading! and feel free to drop any comments or ideas.



Can I put everything on the left side? I like reading and typing so that I don't get distracted, so I open up a text editor on the side, but most websites have all the text in the middle, so I can't have them both open. How do I do that?


Yep sure, I think there is potentially more than one way to achieve that. Probably one of them is to create a skill that changes the style (CSS) of the text to make it left aligned.
