Yep, all but one page type is heavily cached at multiple levels. We are working to get the rest and improve it further... just annoying as they don't even respect limits..

My book discovery website shepherd.com is getting hammered every day by AI crawlers (and crashing often)... my security lists in CloudFlare are ridiculous and the bots are getting smarter. I wish there were a better way to solve this.

I could not keep my website up without Cloudflare given the level of bot and AI crawlers hammering things. I try whenever to do challenges, but sometimes I have to block entire AS blocks.

Yep publisher data is not always accurate, I’m working on how we can improve that.

Sure, they know they can 2x to 5x the revenue of Cyberark with integration to their clients/offerings, maybe more. And build a stronger moat at the same time.

I am working to build a book discovery website: https://shepherd.com/ Right now I am focused on building a full app for readers where the books they log feed into recommendations based on a ton of variables...

Great book first, the book is far better than the show :) (and I liked the show).

I can't remember where, but somewhere I heard that before kids you live with your heart inside you, and after you have kids you live without heart out in the world.

I loved this book, slow start, but pure magic after that.

Ugh, this is frustrating, AI is learning from press releases, sponsored review, and fake reviews, and being placed above legitimate sources.

This, I've given up so many times wanting to watch a soccer game and found no way to do it. It is incredibly frustrating. I don't understand how the current system works as it is impossible to figure out how to watch games.

We don’t focus on newly published books, why did you think that? We focus on the most loved books published in any year with everything we built. We have filters for the readers who do want to see specific years in some sections, but that i

Dude, don't steal books :(, that hurts authors. Yep, we are probably not made for you. I get it. Our UX is designed for a different group of readers :). I hope you can find a great place to find books other than us.

Yeah, I like it for that. Do you want to be recommended a book by AI? We use AI internally as a tool, and I am working on some things around "book twins" to help people find books they will love for sure. I am going to look at pos
