Instant data scraper like extension for Safari

ok so background — i've been a safari user for years but every time i needed to grab data off a webpage i'd have to open chrome, use instant data scraper, do the thing, close chrome. annoying.

couldn't find anything on the safari side that actually worked so i just built one. it auto-detects the biggest repeating block on the page (tables, product cards, news feeds, whatever) highlights it, and you hit export to get a csv. that's it. no account, no settings, no BS.

tested it on wikipedia tables, hacker news, amazon search, github trending — all good.

mac only for now since it's a safari web extension. v1 is just auto-detect + csv. infinite scroll + next page detection is what i'm working on next, that's the big one i know everyone wants.

if anyone wants to try it / break it / tell me it sucks i'd genuinely appreciate the feedback. link in comments so i don't get auto-removed.
