today i met @sendable_me. he's building wayleave.dev and using HTTP 402 to ask AI agents to pay for access, while people still get in free.
the web is getting a new kind of visitor. we need new ways to handle them.
and some of us are already building for it. check out his project:

what keeps you from deploying ONE server to protect all of your projects?
you can be the vercel, the cloudflare, the cdn.
you get:
> bot protection
> rate limits
> analytics w/o cookies or js
> ... and more.
too complicated?

last month, NiceTryBot saved my projects $209,950 from scammers and fraudsters.
if you had an extra $209,950, what would you do with it?

i built a self-hosted bot detection framework.
now i'm building a really nice CDN.
if you are:
🦄 shipping vibe-coded apps
💻 a builder or indie hacker
🍯 into honeypots
🏠 hosting your own stuff
🤖 have a spam or bot problem
let's connect!
tell me where you host and why.

everyone is building for web 2.0
soon we will have a resurgence of ideals web 3.0 aims to solve.
the first being data and privacy.
this is a big reason i made nicetrybot source available. i don’t want your data.
anyone who has it is an attack vector.
🚨 VITALIK: “We really need to treat data as toxic waste by default.”
At Devcon Mumbai, he calls for open-source tech and zero-knowledge proofs to protect privacy and reduce reliance on trust.
