News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

That's a fair point. Right now the logic assumes age equals trust, which is obviously a bit of a leap. It also has the side effect of flagging a real person who just created an account to make a legit contribution.

The goal here was just to catch the obvious burner accounts created yesterday. How would you handle this verification instead? Or would you just not use account age at all as an indicator? I'd love to make the logic more robust.

I've seen a lot of maintainers complaining about being flooded with AI-generated PRs from people who don't even run the code locally. I built this to help filter the noise.

It doesn't use AI to scan code (which is unreliable and prone to false positives). Instead, it uses GitHub's API to check for behavioral "smoke signals": if a PR was submitted impossibly fast after a fork, or if the user is shotgunning PRs across dozens of unrelated repos. It leaves a triage report so the maintainer knows what they can safely ignore.

Thanks! I agree with you and would love to dig into other options to handle the sync. Extensions solve the problem for now, although in some browsers they are not available in the mobile version.

Show HN: Unsearch, an open source alternative to Google Chrome Sync

https://github.com/unsearchapp/unsearch

I use several browsers between college, work and home and I like to have them synced so I can find websites I've searched for in a browser when I don't have access to it or access my bookmarks.I don't like the idea of using any of the sync services offered by the major browsers because of how they might use my data, because they lack some features I'd like to have, and because they all try to...
