So I heard you wanted to make things just a little bit worse out there

edit: it's cool and you're pretty cool for doing it, and there's not much consent involved when it comes to crawling

@boundring Appreciate the edit. And yeah, the crawling/consent question is thorny - the whole AI ecosystem is built on it. Thanks for checking it out. I'll revisit this and release a new version considering crawling.
Fair question. What specifically worries you about it?
May or may not need to get clarified: if you've got a functional tool, it's probably getting crawled and picked apart now. If it's at all useful for what you're intending, that's probably not going to be too-too great in the long run for a lot of folks.

Not my preference or intent to get too far into all that, though. Kudos for the project, it's interesting but still a little unfortunate in the long view

It's nicer to respond quicker than not, but you probably deserve a more thought-out answer than I'm willing to provide just now.

The kind of question you've asked, it usually answers itself

makes sense
