orthogonal-ghost · reddit · 2026-09-16
A dev is building a tool that converts public websites into durable APIs: give it a URL plus the data/operations you need, and it generates endpoints agents can call.

Now recruiting testers for agent workflows, website-change tracking, and live-web-data apps.
