Suggestion: Provide an option to scrape all elements on a page with a spreadsheet preview, similar to the Instant Data Scraper chrome extension, so you can save time and eliminate the need to test each item and print to console.

Currently, it can take a significant amount of time to find the right selectors, print to console, test, edit, and save new files.

For example, when scraping Amazon listings for dog toys, you would see instantly see a spreadsheet view that includes columns for all of the data on the page such as product URL, description, ratings, image URLS, etc.. with each listed item as a row in the preview.

You then have the option to eliminate or select the columns that you need in the automation. For example, you might only need to select item title, description, and rating.
