"The general public, and the artist in particular, have been conditioned to react negatively to computers. The uninitiated artist asks: what can this machine do for me? Really, the question should be: what can I do with this machine?"

-Ruth Leavitt, 1976

Our goal with our dataset is to only focus on the personal web. The search APIs that LLMs use rank a lot of SEO/commercial content highly that we were not interested in

To measure that we do better here, we made evaluations based on how real people recommend websites on their blogs/writing/articles. For example, we tend to surface https://every.to/p/invisible-details-of-interaction-design rather than https://userpilot.com/blog/interaction-design-principles/ when searching for advice on getting better at interaction design.

Yikes! We'd never heard of that.

We picked "Browser Buddy" to name our surfing penguin logo.

We originally started with a webapp but found ourselves using it much more on our phones.

Happy to bring back the webapp if there’s strong interest!

We don’t boost any authors/publishers/pieces. We don’t have any specific plan to monetize right now, but many AI-based products seem to work well as paid subscriptions vs using an advertising model.

found some cool info about bell labs in this pdf (chapters 1 & 7): https://quello.msu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Memories-N...
