- Dub co-founder @steventey shared a weekend project: a malicious link scanner for the free dub.co link shortener, which has long been abused by bad actors.
- He fed 10K+ malicious domains caught over time into Jev, training it to detect and flag suspicious URLs.
- Thanks to Jev's token efficiency, running costs are nearly negligible, and a problem the team had wrestled with since day one was solved in just 2 hours.
