I was trying to remember the name! I set up an incredible amount of automation with Kimono Labs.. that was one of the best products I've ever used. I remember when they shut down, but only realized now they were acquired by... Palantir?
Me too. Absolutely one of the best products I’ve ever used. It’s also the product that taught me that I can’t trust a SaaS business with important work. Wish they still existed.
Seems like a sure-fire way to get bought out is to build a web-scraper service...
Also seems similar to Dashblock (YC S19):

https://www.diffbot.com/ is still well regarded, no?
It's like http://80legs.com which, by the way, was acquired.
also similar to parts of yahoo! pipes and some of dapper features (acquired by Yahoo!)

I wonder why it was shutdown
