Road to v1.0.0: Share your thoughts!

[nathanfallet]

Hey everyone, thank you for using Zendriver!

Since the project now has a quite stable public API, and only has few bugs, we are thinking about promoting the library to a version 1.0.0.
But before this, we would love to hear your feedbacks and gather any important changes that would be necessary before this release.

Here are some of the changes we already want to consider:

• Added functionality to locate elements based on any combination of their tagname, attributes, and text value. #55: bs4-like API to find elements
• Mentionned in Fix/flash point #148: Improve type safety, by getting rid of __getattr__ as much as possible (+ adding a get method for element, deprecating dynamic calls)
• Find a solution for Bug from _register_handlers #158

Feel free to comment, share your thoughts, and even help to fix those issues if you want to 😄

We would also consider breaking changes if they solve issues (like the __getattr__ one).

I'll keep this issue up to date with what's happening.

I have a suggestion:.it would be great if Zendriver's Tab could support text OCR functionality — to recognize text visually and then simulate a human-like click on that text.

I’ve tried integrating OCR myself and managed to get the coordinates of the recognized text, but calling element.mouse_click() doesn’t behave exactly like a real human click in some cases (e.g., UI elements don’t respond as expected).

It would be awesome if Zendriver could provide better integration or abstractions for this kind of use case — perhaps a click_text("some text") helper that performs OCR and clicks as a human would.

Thanks again for the great work!

To help people transition from other frameworks it would be great to have a map of zen driver's functions and what they translate to in other framework, example:

Zen driver: current_page.xpath(path, timeout) = Selenium: driver.find_elements(By.XPATH, path)
