Show HN: Pi-Infinite-Contexthttps://github.com/fdietze/pi-infinite-context

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 did…
Show HN: Free, interactive digital logic contenthttps://www.betterdl.com
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

Show HN: I track all 121k Skool communities to find community creator leadshttps://www.skoolstats.com
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.
