Hey HN,
I built Linky because I was frustrated with traditional SEO tools that only
work with fixed website lists and break whenever sites update their layouts.
**The Problem:**
- Traditional tools have fixed lists of 500-2000 sites
- They break when websites change their HTML
- They use robotic patterns that are easily detected
**My Solution:**
Linky uses AI (Claude/OpenAI + Playwright) to understand any website's
structure and submit links intelligently. Key features:
- Works with ANY website you provide (not just a fixed list)
- Auto-adapts when sites update their UI
- "Action Replay" records successful submissions for zero-cost replay
- Human-like behavior to avoid detection
- BYOK - bring your own API key, full cost transparency
**Tech Stack:**
- Electron + React 19 for the desktop app
- Python + FastAPI + browser-use for the AI backend
- Playwright for browser automation
Currently macOS only, Windows coming soon.
This is a work in progress, but the core idea is taking shape. If you’re interested in where this is headed, feel free to star it on GitHub to follow the journey!
I'm looking for feedback and early adopters, or if you have suggestions for improvement!
