I used to connect to that exact BBS over dialup in the early 90s. I'm old.

This is pretty epic! This should come standard with Claude Code. Thanks for this! Now going to bed, and will wake up to a brand new feature :)

Very nice! Awesome landing page!

FYI, the `www` version of your domain doesn't resolve. You might want to add a redirect.

I liked changing the copyright company name to my own name. Made me feel like such a boss.

I happen to have downloaded the master branch at 9am this morning. Here's a torrent: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:92042e65d1b38cd5d97c29baa4d0c9e2af46f355&dn=bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean-master.zip

Off-topic: Tailscale seems like such a perfect acquisition target for Cloudflare. It seems like there's perfect product and culture alignment. Amirite?

Nice UI, easier to use and more flexible, deploys Docker containers.

I went down that rabbit hole as well, and I also settled on Outline for our business. We haven't widely deployed it yet, but it's been working great during our limited testing. It is sorely missing robust embeds, however!

It looks beautiful and is very user friendly. Congrats!

Same here. I was a customer for a long time and loved the service, but having to watch my “search spend” and constantly going over limits is really annoying. I ended up cancelling but I really wish I didn’t.

Personally I’d like to see an ad-supported, or partially ad-supported version that isn’t evil.

The way Google started out with relevant ads in the sidebar or a single relevant ad at the top is acceptable in my opinion if it means bring the cost way down for the end user and ensuring sustainability for the company.

I don’t think asking users to shell out $10, $20, $30 per month for search is a viable long term model that’ll ever appeal to the masses.

Docker is awesome tech but a terrible company with a terrible business model. I don’t see them surviving long term. Especially with the way they operate and alienate people.
