I am not sure. The thing I want to build is far different from ChatGPT plugins. Could you please be more specific? Why do you think ChatGPT plugins would be direct competitor?

Thanks, updated.

I laughed out loud after reading your comment. I did not put a lot of thought into designing the logo. Thanks for the video.

Thank you so much!

Thanks for your feedback. The LLM part is a bit buggy since I rushed its release. Currently, I am rewriting the entire LLM section to ensure that it is both fast and reliable.

May I ask how many queries you would like before signing up?

Thanks!

I found one annoyingly low-quality site in the Grasp search results, which came from https://www.protocol.com (a news website). By default, outgoing links from news websites are not considered while building the network, as they will bring more junk. I maintain a list of UGC sites and news websites to ignore.

I will add https://www.protocol.com to the network building block list.

BTW, the link you shared https://file.io/umsdbo2JcEfg appears to be deleted.

By default, Grasp uses the HackerNews network, which is built from the top sites from HackerNews.

Here is a page about how it works: https://usegrasp.com/how

I'm not aware of any other products, but I think the Bing Custom Search API might be able to solve your problem.

Yes, absolutely, it will be our next feature!

Hey, could you please link the search results page? I'd be happy to take a look and remove any commercialized sites from the network. The best part about this idea is that if there's a low-quality site, we can block the previous node, which will block all the other sites it was linking to. If a site is linking to a poor-quality site, there's a chance they might link to other poor-quality websites. You might ask whether this will also remove good sites from your network, but a good site will always find a way to enter the network.

The blocking feature has not been shipped yet.

As of right now, the Grasp Network builder won't consider outgoing links from UGC (User-generated content) websites such as Reddit, Twitter, etc. as it would bring in junk, as you mentioned. I am maintaining a full list of UGC sites.

LLM part is currently under load. I am currently doing a full rewrite for it, which will improve its speed and reliability.

Could you please share the specific error message you are facing, perhaps from the console?

Thanks!

I still remember the day I saw your project on HN [1]. Your work encouraged me to start exploring my search engine ideas. I can't believe you are commenting on my work.

Yes, this is going to be our next feature. In fact, this is the exact idea that I prototyped a couple of months ago using Twitter data, but we are completely off from Twitter now [1].

Agreed. There is room for different plans, but we want some search metric to define the pricing.

On a side note, I truly did not want to put up a paywall. But, it is necessary to support our servers.

Yes, the search results are a combination of our own index and a third-party index, but our future goal is to be fully dependent on our own index.

Thanks, updated.

Can you please mention how many queries are enough for you to get an impression of Grep?

>It also seems that following some websites is difficult. For example, I wanted to follow Nomad List and Weather Spark...

There is a feature on our roadmap where you can visit grep.help/nomadlist.com to follow the site, but it has not been shipped yet

We don't log IP address.

Could you kindly clear the cache and try again?

Thanks for the feedback. We will soon be adding the bulk import feature where you can paste all the URLs and just follow them.

Hey, I will increase the quota to 20 free searches per month. Thanks! I just realized that 10 will not be enough.

By default, Grep will go up to 4 degrees, but if your network of sites is less than 70K, then it will go up to 7 degrees to reach the 70K threshold.

That's a good feature. We will add a bulk import input where you can paste all the URLs and follow them.

Thanks for feedback.

Here is the reason why we liked the name. Grep is a great CLI tool that always gives the right answers if your query is correct.

I wanted Grep.help to do the same for your personal network.

> And, concealed pricing info is a flat-out non-starter for me.

I will mention this on the front page of grep.

I think we have reached the quota or something. I will fix it. Thanks!

I was planning to add those pages and did not expect Grep to be on the front page of HN.

> Additionally, the promise of "No AI-Content" appears to be snake oil unless the creators have discovered a magic formula for reliably distinguishing AI output from human output.

From my testing, at least within your network, I did not notice any AI-generated content. Even if you find any low-quality sites, you can simply block the previous node that refers to the site (yet to be shipped). Grep will remove all the sites that the previous node was linking to, including any AI-generated ones.

Just noticed, it seems like you all did not like the name.

Hello all, I am Vignesh, developer here. I just saw grep.help on the front page and I will answer the comments.
