Still working https://pagewatch.ai/ , my ai readiness audit tool. Currently having fun building a MCP app for it inside Claude / ChatGPT, its oddly tricky to get things behaving consistently.

The github link is also going to a 404.

I built a tool to check for these issues, was curious if it would find it all, but yes.

Really pretty keyboard widget, though it did slightly confuse me that is showing the next key, not what I actually typed.

There is so much opportunity in AI that is not just a chatbot, I almost feel there should be category of tools that is LLM powered, but not [here is empty textbox] Best of luck!

https://pagewatch.ai/ - make sure LLM's can understand your site.

There is a surprising amount of edge cases that can cause ChatGPT or others to misunderstand your pages. Some models can handle div based tables, some want alt tags but cannot understand title tags, etc.

I built the tool to check your site as close as possible to what a human would see and then compare it with LLM's.

It was a weird journey trying to tease this info out of the models, they will happily lie, skip checking sites or just make things up.

I've been very happy with https://render.com/ , seems the closest to what heroku was

I think this might be one of the first times I didnt notice it, but just look through the comment history of https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=jackfranklyn , they all look the same.

Building a tool to check your site layout and copy from multiple devices. Uses gpt-5 vision to find inconsistencies in headings/images.

Can you save on LLM tokens using images instead of text?

Landing page is pretty but some serious spelling errors going on in the main title ('Flixible Email', 'Bussines'), might want to fix that :) see https://pagewatch.ai/s-jbjiz2qxvndc/li4tigvz/dashboard

FIY your homepage automatically loads new content when you scroll down, making things look quite chaotic and impossible to see the footer.

This thing at least looks like a bike, some of the 'e-bikes' are way more motorcycles than actually meant to be paddled.

A task framework could be very useful, setting up celery task can get complicated very fast, especially once you have multiple servers with rolling deploys or recurring task (celery-beat). Rails has active-job and is always something I felt was missing from Django.

https://render.com/ is probably the closest, I'm really enjoying using them. Workflow is the same as heroku, but cheaper, no nightly restarts, supports new python versions etc..

Pretty clever to host the malware on a sites.google.com domain, makes it look way more trustworthy. Google should probably stop allowing people to add content under that address.

Astro is really fun to work with, cool that you can add components from vue/react etc all on the same page. Sounds like they are planning to use the money for their AI builder, hopefully the core keeps getting worked on also.

Do you have an affiliate plan, or likely to have one? Maybe they plan to redirect with their affiliate ID at some point?

Ha not bad, pagewatch.ai

  Look at that video player, apologizing profusely because it doesn’t know why it 
  can’t load. Sadly, it’s the most relatable thing on your webpage. Your site is 
  like a desperate dating profile: "I swear I'm different!

I wanted to reciprocate with my tool (not as spicy) https://pagewatch.ai/5f5c1cef-c119-4389-9641-965a4fee2b33/29...

It is cloudflare that blocked us, we scrape using a regular chrome instance (with the latest user-agent), but cloudflare are sometimes very aggressive in their blocking. I'm busy adding a proxy option to handle these cases automatically, and some way to whitelist our scraper.
