I can see how it's a tricky problem. I wish html had more structure here (and people followed the structure, a whole other problem...). FWIW, my page has a "last updated" date on its now page but comes up as 1969 in aboutideasnow.

Oh, now aboutideasnow shows no date at all.

The vast majority of indexed websites don't have a date unfortunately :(

What's your website so I can take a look at the parsing?

It says last updated today because I really did update it today :)

anyway, cool project!

Ahh, I believe we're not trusting the current date at the moment because of spam potential: https://github.com/lindylearn/aboutideasnow/blob/main/apps/a...

Which seems bad if you update your site and submit it afterwards. I'll remove this check for now.
