New comment by andrethegiant in "Cloudflare crawl endpoint"

I tried to make exactly this a year ago. Built on Cloudflare using all of their primitives: https://crawlspace.dev -- It didn't work too well (so don't bother trying it).

This is 100% the case.

Love Monarch. I would love to see the team apply AI to build missing institutions (Robinhood CC, Accrue) faster.

Use cloudflare to redirect requests that have text/plain in the accept header to use the corresponding api endpoint

I have no plans in downloading Atlas either, but I think your browsing isn't used for training unless you opt in.

I am so sick of these anthropomorphized names that have nothing to do with anything that we’re all supposed to remember now. Why are we giving products first names? The worst offender is probably Amazon Rufus. It’s all so dumb and I hate it. At least attempt to be clever and name it something that relates to the product itself. Even Google Wave, despite its shortcomings, made sense as a product name.

> I think there should also be a reasonable cap on the number of connections that can be made. Something like 300 friends sounds right. Any more than that and you're a collector, and not using the platform to foster connection.

Path[1] did that, but with a cap of 50, and then 150 (based on the Dunbar number of meaningful human connections one can retain). They had a crazy growth period but eventually went kaput.

Doesn’t this conflict with the original proposal of appending .md to any resource, e.g. /foo/bar.html.md? Or why not tell servers to respond to the Accept header when it’s set to text/markdown?

> If anyone has a browser plugin which automatically redirects to llms.txt sign me up.

Not a browser plugin, but you can prefix URLs with `pure.md/` to get the pure markdown of that page. It's not quite a 1:1 to llms.txt as it doesn't explain the entire domain, but works well for one-off pages. [disclaimer: I'm the maintainer]

Could be. But their pricing for the conversion is free, which leads me to believe LLMs are not involved.
