If you have not discovered Bubbles yet, then I suggest you go and have a look.

Thanks so much for your support @daj Sooo much coffee to drink now \o/
It's always amusing to read about "the Bubbles team", when there's really just one passionate dude and his laptop.
Full disclosure: for the initial categorization of the 4k+ blogs I used the help of AI. Wanted to clarify this, because you explicitly mentioned "by humans" in your post. But you also mentioned honesty, so there's that.

  thanks Ben. I find a Team of One is always the most productive. Development meetings can progress at speed. Haha.
  Thanks for the clarification, I will adjust the article slightly so that I am not misleading anyone.

  Did the authors consent to that? You probably added their sites to the training set… Is there a way to check whether I am in that set of 4k+ blogs?

    @jak2k Hey, happy to clarify. jak2k.eu isn't listed on Bubbles, so you're not in that set of 4k+ blogs. You can verify at https://bubbles.town/blogs.txt (linked on the /about page). No training happens either. I use Claude Haiku via API, Anthropic's Commercial Terms prohibit training on API inputs. For more on Bubbles' AI usage, see https://bubbles.town/privacy Hope this helps!
