Hey, tldrlegal creator here. Glad to see feedback popping on HN again! Here's some answers:
1. You're totally right about ToS. Tldrlegal was just code and OSS licenses for a while -- I just added terms of service and the apple tos today. They're in the autocomplete to just feature both types but you're right -- it's irresponsible to suggest that before it's ready.
2. The back button issue is just a redirect one from the js routing on that page. The reason is because it defaults to the first tab link, which is kept as an anchor for js-disabled loaders.
Thanks for the notes!
- beggi 13y agoIt's not just suggested as autocomplete, it's actually given as an example of a search on the front page, just FYI.

- freudien 13y agoThese are kids building this product in Silicon Valley. I'm surprised there isn't more work done already -- this industry is notorious for having operating inefficiencies. But hey, that's what a free market is, right? Let the market decide which competitor is best. These guys are funded and need to generate that return, right?
- hugoroy 13y ago(ToS;DR project lead here) We’re a not-for-profit. And all our code is at https://github.com/tosdr/ https://github.com/tosdr/ I’m all fine to see other projects tackling the issue. But I’m not a big fan of closed-source services that exploit people’s participation. (Or maybe I completely miss the source code to tldrlegal.com, in such case I apologize! But then, don’t hide it ;-))
- freudien 13y agoI was talking about the tl;dr guys :P
