Super cool project. Reading this introduced me to /now and /ideas and /uses, all of which I will be adding to my site this week. (I guess I know what goes first on /now now!)

Good luck, and thank you!

I personally really enjoy writing and updating my /now and /ideas pages [0], it's quite clarifying to list the things you really care about :)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This is so cool! I love the upvote function :) Could you put it at /ideas on your website so it appears on aboutideasnow.com?

It's currently available as a subdomain of my personal site, since I have not yet finalized the domain for this project. However, each user's page will be at a path of the primary domain (e.g. example.com/moshe). `/ideas` is not supported at a sub-path (e.g. example.com/moshe/ideas). I will be supporting custom domains, so I could support `/ideas` only for those sites. Other options include redirecting/rewriting your…

Mhh, I would love aboutideasnow.com to be interoperable with your project. Seems like you have more things planned!

The redirect option seems good, or supporting subpaths. If there's something I can do to help please write me an email [0] or open a GitHub issue! [1]

We just want more people to write about their ideas, and find others with similar ideas. It doesn't matter to me where that happens :)

This is a great idea. Just a quick feedback: when I search for "llm", I got quite random results.

Well the results are indeed "quite random"... A good test case to improve the spam filtering with :)

It seems to work much better with capital letters for some reason: https://aboutideasnow.com/?q=LLM

this is amazing, so many people struggling with coming up with cool ideas haha

Ideas are not worth very much, and many try to focus on world-changing ideas, which is the wrong approach. I sit on two or three profitable ideas at any time, there's just not enough hours in a day to dedicate serious effort to any.

I agree!

What would you say is the most important then? The right people, or sticking with something for long enough?

Awesome! I recently started an "Awesome Website Paths" [1] repository. I didn't know about /ideas, and I haven't tracked /about yet. I'll add them later tonight and point both to https://aboutideasnow.com for now. In the past I've had each endpoint mention a specific page that's dedicated to the endpoint. I can make an exception until I find one of those dedicated pages, but I'll make sure to still keep a reference to your site when I do make that change. Thanks for sharing!

I added my site and received the following response: > josephriddle.com/ideas without update time I looked into the source code to determine how it's finding the update time. Come to find out, it's using ChatGPT! [0] It appears to only be looking at the article contents for the date, not at any page metadata.

Yep but there is a fallback to metascraper [0] which does check the HTML tags. However the fallback didn't work in case GPT returns a 1970 date -- I just fixed this! [1] I think you can now remove the date from your post content and it should still work. If you submit your website again it should do a re-scrape if you changed the content text. Thanks for catching this :) [0] https://metascraper.js.org/#/ [1] https://…

Does it also look at JSON+LD?
