Show HN: Allowing web agents to click and type like humans (Python library)

https://github.com/Super-44/nothingtoseehere
1•hjegeorge•1h ago
`nothingtoseehere` (PyPI) generates human-like mouse movement + typing for browser/UI automation, especially web agents (Fitts’ Law, asymmetric velocity profiles, tremor, layout-aware typos, etc.). Built for consent-backed workflows where perfectly linear automation looks uncanny and gets misclassified as non-human.

Repo has a Wikipedia demo + a writeup with research/citations.

Also interested in the ethics/norms here: what does “good citizen” agent behaviour on the web look like before this turns into an arms race? If you work on bot mitigation / anti-fraud (Cloudflare or otherwise), I’d love your perspective.
