Hi HN! Since I created this extension and heavily refined its core design, I'm not worrying about context size anymore. It just works so well. So I wanted to share. It is stress-tested with OpenAI and Anthropic models. Since HN is sensitive to good readmes, I wanted to do it well here. I started writing it by hand, but noticed that it was not great. then I decided to go back to LLM help, but iterate on it until it was short, simple and readable. I hope you like it. In this process I had an insight about AI generated content. Slop is not only the fact that AI was used, but that the creator didβ¦
I absolutely suffered through Digital Logic in school and have been thinking about this for a while. I always found the resources to be super dated and hard to understand, so I created something that I hope is better. It's currently all free, I might charge for it at some point, not sure. For now, I'd just love any feedback :) Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50072842 Points: 1 # Comments: 0

Bit niche, but if you're in the community or creator space this might be useful. I run a daily scraper of all 121,000 Skool.com communities and track their growth rates. Agencies use it to filter down to build lead lists for services, and comm owners use it to see where their community ranks by niche or search term. Also there's a bulk email finder/export. It's a bit like Apollo mixed with SEO/ASO rank tools, but for communities/groups. It's paid (scraping costs, plus many months of my dev time). Happy to answer any questions or comments.
