Thanks, that’s a really good question. Site Spy uses a real browser flow, so it generally handles JS-rendered pages much better than simple HTML-only polling tools. In practice, the trickier cases tend to be sites with aggressive anti-bot protection or messy login/session flows rather than JS itself. I’m trying to make those limitations clearer so people don’t just hit a vague failure and feel let down

Curious how you're thinking about getting around anti-bot protection. I scrape a lot and I've noticed many highly trafficked sites investing in anti-bot measures recently, with the rise of AI browsers and such. Still, cool idea, congrats on the launch.

Many people have mentioned gym. I second that wholeheartedly. Running, especially has improved my mental health considerably. Also, writing. Maybe start by writing about all the times you wished you were alone and how that will now be possible :)

I can relate to this. Coding satisifies my urge to build and ship and have an impact on the world. But it doesn't make me think hard. Two things which I've recently gravitated to outside of coding which make me think: blogging and playing chess.

Maybe I subconsciously picked these up because my Thinker side was starved for attention. Nice post.

Reminded me of one of Paul Graham's maxims: "do things that don't scale"
