This looks really interesting but the landing page is dense. Tough to determine what this actually does (quickly). I wonder if there is an opportunity to offer a condensed introduction ahead of all the detail? The README is a little better but still not totally clear.

Side note — the first link in the README 404s on GitHub.

tldr: You add content in a self-hosted web app (e.g. as RSS, PDF, EPUB...), and it measures how interesting it is by trying to reconstruct it with a GPT-3-like model and seeing how predictable it is.

Indeed, the page is more of a write-up than a landing page. Also, broken link fixed, thanks!

Nice. Got it. A demo instance would also be helpful in this regard. I always appreciate self-hostable tools and for that use case a demo is super valuable for getting a quick understanding of “what it is” as well.
