Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

There's a firefox addon: https://github.com/ClearURLs/Addon and it's rules db: https://github.com/ClearURLs/Rules
You can maybe repurpose something from this?
the rules database is definitely nicely portable — it wouldn’t be too bad at all to write a little bit of code to parse that and reuse it
Yeah this was the direction of my thinking as well
As for the functionality, it may need to be a share target that sinks to something. Likely pastebuffer, but I really want to see if I could make it sink to multiple targets as an automatic flow. In terms of usage, it immediately feels like something people did with IFTTT and Yahoo Pipes of “old” (god I miss the late 00s early 10s internet vibe before every fucking company decided their revenue model was captive datahold[0])
Honestly unsure whether it could be integrated into safari, need to see how hobbled that interface is. And whether it would interfere with things like 1Blocker, or runs in pipeline. Critical spoon deficit this year tho, life’s been a fucker
[0] - I have a rantpost boiling about the wider phenomenon of this. Fucking advertising as the de facto value exchange model of the internet 😩😭
oh absolutely same
loltypo, but accidental and worthwhile extra meaning
