I actually only started using Zeal during the last few months...but similar to you, the trap i fall into is that muscle memory has not been built up with me to *remember* to check zeal before resorting to a search engine. However, those few

So, it has begun! Soon the dolphins will fly off into space...and then, we'll be in quite the pickle as the rest of the plan deploys. ;-)

@splittydev Your entire comment there could/should be copy-pasted as an intro for your project. My curiosity was piqued when i saw this listed here on HN, but it did not fully hit me when i visited the website, and only partially und

@Jeannen I really like the thinking here...But instead of ai.txt - since the intent is not to block, but rather, to inform AI models (or any other presumably automaton) - my reflex is to suggest something more general like readme.txt. But,
