Hey Texau team: What is the ETA for this maintenance to be completed?

Oh and the website value appears to be grabbing the displayed text rather than the url beneath it. I'm only getting root domains, not directories.

@Vikesh Tiwari it's over 1 month later and I'm hoping for an encouraging update from you and team. I've just tested the Google Maps scraper again, and it is still broken — the URL, Claimed, and Managed fields are not reliable. The URL field is grabbing a displayed/rendered url, not the full target URL (so "facebook.com" instead of "facebook.com/business_name"). The "Claimed" and Managed" values are incorrect (they are showing TRUE for every listing). Note that these aren't occasional errors. They are perfectly consistent. Additionally, the team's latest update has broken the google sheet flow — the column header selection isn't populating in the search url field. It looks like it got linked accidentally to previous automation output. So I'm having to use CSV files instead. Am I the only one trying to use this? It's been broken for a loooong time.
Directory Build
Before the team went dark to work on V2 there was an ongoing competition/challenge/tutorial on building a directory site. Whatever happened to that in the end?

I'm following this post with interest.
Unlimited TexAu V2 Desktop
I have upgraded to the latest V2 Desktop and i don't have a UI to work from like V1 so that we can setup our scrapes as if we were in the cloud version. Or am i missing something? Also when updating the desktop it takes so long to download and update. As we speak i'm waiting for it to update from version 0.1.5 Thank you for your time

I don't think you'll be able to run general web scraping via proxy yet. Currently, I am unable to select a "desktop" proxy when running an automation like "scrape website metadata." I think we're still waiting on the TexAu team to enable running this via proxy. Any update on this @Vikesh Tiwari ?

I just tried running a website metadata scrape using the proxy — I see the option in the UI which says "Select Desktop," and it appears to run at first, but I get errors and no data when I run the automation.
