<p>Been using his skills a lot lately, they are wonderful. I’ve added an issue to specs skill that grounds the issues with a technical plan against the current codebase, and a research school that spawns a bunch of agents to look up best practices on the internet for those issues with specs, it really dials things in. I need to issue a PR to his project for those two…</p>

<p>Interesting. in terms of "crawling", the way the engine I built works is by default it's just polling the rss feed of a site on an adjusting cadence like any other rss feed reader. On some sites, the engine can do a follow up scrape of the article link from the rss feed if the full content of the article isn't provided in the rss feed. So it's not real crawling, more fetching/scraping if necessary.<p>But I hear you.</p>

<p>I presume you’re politely asking in order to block? Which is fine, I get it. On my phone right now but can update later.<p>I do want to ask though (and I should make this clear in a FAQ or something): the way I check RSS feeds uses adaptive scheduling, so I intentionally don’t check feeds of sites too rapidly. Then the summarization is based on the full article content but I never render that full content on the site (to avoid traffic hijacking concerns). Given that: what’s the concern?</p>

<p>Yeah I know and agree, just wondering if something is haywire in that logic somehow. Otherwise it’s a bizarre issue but I’ll get it fixed</p>

<p>you know, I had setup some analytics filtering based on geoip because I was getting crazy spam traffic from Chine and Singapore, but that should only be affecting analytics not the whole site. Mind if I ask where you're located? (you can email me privately if preferred: me@dchuk.com)</p>

<p>I built a site that's similar in concept to Hacker News, but is entirely fed by RSS feed content, that is then bullet-pointed summarized on the article page: <a href="https://engineered.at/" rel="nofollow">https://engineered.at/</a><p>But I also extract topics automatically from the content too with LLMs, to allow for dynamic topic pages that users can separately subscribe to to tune their feeds.<p>Haven't promoted it much, but it's pretty amazing what you can do for a couple bucks a month. And my main thesis with this site is that by locking the content to only rss feeds of known blogs, you dramatically reduce the spam submission risk (basically eliminate it). Doesn't handle the spam comment side of things, but that's a different problem.<p>EDIT: I also open sourced a Rails engine I made to power this site if anyone is interested: <a href="https://github.com/dchuk/source_monitor" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/dchuk/source_monitor</a></p>

<p>This is awesome thank you for building this! I’ve wanted to try building some sort of companion robot for my kids to play with, that leverages edge voice AI models and likely an api connection to one of the big SOTA providers for the brain, with a custom system prompt to have a very simple child-like personality. I feel like it would be neat to use an android phone as the “face” where you get a nice screen to render on, compute for the edge models, and the forward and rear facing cams for the vision all included. One of those daydream projects…</p>

<p>Interesting concept. Two sided marketplaces are hard to bootstrap but maybe just enough curiosity would get the flywheel going. Hell they should just try and convince people to enroll as providers but then also use the service even if it’s hitting their own machines until there’s some degree of supply and demand pressure then try and get only providers to sign up. Or set up some way to encourage providers to promote others to use the service (the 100% rev share kind of breaks that concept but anything can change).<p>I wish this was self hostable, even for a license fee. Many businesses have fleets of Macs, sometimes even in stock as returned equipment from employees. Would allow for a distributed internal inference network, which has appeal for many orgs who value or require privacy.</p>

<p>Ignore all the hate in the comments here, anyone denying the direction of software development and it aggressively becoming agentic have their own reckonings to deal with…<p>I love this concept. While I’m a Rails guy myself, I appreciate the value of Django too, and an agent-optimized version of it makes sense.<p>I feel like the next logical steps are this exact concept but in Go / Rust to get even more performance out of everything and to also get the single deployable binary too</p>

<p>Looks interesting for small internal tools and apps, especially with go’s simple deployment model. Do you already have a Claude code plugin or skills files for it? That would likely help adoption</p>

<p>Very cool. I’ve used a paid service for years now that gets me all sorts of sports and channels very reliably, I would assume they’re doing something similar to make this work. Might try this though with my home server setup.<p>Think it could be ran from within a docker container so I could add it to an existing docker compose media server setup?</p>
