Not using JavaScript would also make the crawler fail on squarespace and wix website builders. The age where the web was usable at all without JavaScript is long gone. No scraper would get much scraping done without JavaScript these days.

You mean by embedding? How can an external site fail on squarespace and wix website builders?

A crawler would fail on all Squarespace and Wix sites if they all require JavaScript.

This is really cool, I just wish people wouldn't deface the website by submitting hateful speech as titles.

The 'all articles' section really is a dive into what happens when you allow unfiltered posting - it's a shame that it isn't clear how many individuals are creating this hateful and otherwise inappropriate titles - is it just 1 or 2 people, or has this been posted to 4chan or somewhere and there is a concerted effort to disrupt the site?

Shame there isn't a way to flag pages for removal. I was going to point my kids at this site, and it could be a great learning tool for schools, but not currently something I'd share.

This is fantastic. I couldn't find any obvious way to search for a new page, but you can simply bang out any arbitrary URL slug and the new article will be hallucinated fresh, eg: https://halupedia.com/shortest-cave-in-the-world https://halupedia.com/echolocation-ability-in-spiders

For some reason it fails to generate anything for me most of the time. https://halupedia.com/shortest-hose-in-the-world [fail] https://halupedia.com/new-england-rock-worm [fail] https://halupedia.com/chronic-anaspepsis [fail] https://halupedia.com/ancient-egyptian-algebra [OK]

They all work for me now, maybe it was getting hugged to death?

Interesting idea with flagging. We are considering 2 options: 1. You can generate aricle only if it was previously referenced in previous one 2. Flagging mechanism, now that you brought it up.

Let me know what you think!

Exactly, but I consider adding fake search that could find you ANY article, including not existent ones

Search autocomplete but it halucinates the article titles.

What if you (could quickly)…

manually delete the offensive stuff on the first page of the all page,

replace the All page with a static page with the offensive stuff removed,

and offer a link to the current All page 1, just as it is, at the bottom.

Hope it would make defacing articles at the top of the alphabet sort slightly less attractive.

(Edit: Stumble is impacted? Could use rudimentary tricks to limit stumbling on e.g. religious content, and might consider not detailing the methods used specifically :) )

I made an SCP foundation inspired page: https://halupedia.com/hard-to-detroy-reptile My favorite link generated there is the Institute for Unyielding Biology: https://halupedia.com/institute-for-unyielding-biology
