-Bumblebee is a Windows Forms application written in C#. The rendering of web
-content is handled by the embedded Microsoft Edge browser (via WebView). The
-text editor on the right is <a src="https://github.com/desjarlais/Scintilla.NET"
-class="external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Scintilla.NET</a>. It
-enables users to override the script at any point during the session. There are
-application settings that let users debounce events, ignore hidden elements
-and scripts, and more.

-Unfortunately, I can't share the source code for Bumblebee. I developed it for
-an employer. Hence, the software is proprietary.
+Bumblebee works by injecting a custom JavaScript program that tracks user
+interactions. The tracker intercepts and sends them to the Bumblebee backend as
+events for analysis. In addition to the front-end events, Bumblebee also
+intercepts events internal to the web browser, which it then interprets to
+generate C# code for the Selenium WebDriver in real time.
