Show HN: Looking for help finishing up my privacy focused web scrapper
A developer is seeking help to complete their privacy-focused web scraper project, which is being developed as an open-source tool on GitHub.
Background
- **God Stack** is an open-source, privacy-focused web scraper, currently seeking community help to finish its development. A web scraper is a tool that automatically extracts data from websites. Privacy-focused means it's designed to minimize data leakage and user tracking during scraping.
- The "Show HN" prefix indicates this was posted on Hacker News, a tech community forum run by Y Combinator, where makers and developers showcase their projects and ask for feedback or contributions.
- Web scraping exists in a legally gray area: it's essential for research, price monitoring, and AI training data, but websites often fight it with technical blocks and lawsuits (e.g., Meta vs. Bright Data, GitHub vs. data-scraping bots). A privacy-first scraper could appeal to users who want to scrape without exposing their own IP or browser fingerprint, or who need to handle sensitive data.
