On October 27, 2026, Simon Willison published a review of Jeff Lindsay's webframe project, looking at it as a web scraping tool and a sandbox. webframe treats a web page as a program: point it at a URL or file and it runs the page in a hidden headless WebView. Output from console.log() goes to standard output, and exceptions go to standard error. The report explains this execution and output mechanism but does not disclose the review's specific findings.
