The Take
Dots nails a clear product boundary: not full-precision sharing, not nothing — just city/place-level presence with audience controls and custom 'special places'. The site uses concrete micro-stories (Vermont, Back Bay) and features like nearby notifications to sell the workflow. Biggest questions: it's iOS-only and the privacy/anti-abuse mechanics (how fuzzy the locations are, spoof resistance, opt-in audience controls) are unexplained — that's the product risk, not the copy or UI.

CCClub – Leaderboard for Claude Code usage among friends
Turns local Claude Code logs into privacy-preserving 30-minute token summaries and publishes only counters — no prompts, files, or project names ever leave your machine. The combo of a tiny CLI with SessionEnd hooks and a Cloudflare Worker dashboard (per-group pages, auto-refresh, opt-in global board) is a smart, low-friction approach to sharing usage data. If you care about tracking AI spending socially, this scratches that exact itch without the usual signup overhead.

Exitlight – Find privacy contacts for data deletion requests
Uses a headless Playwright browser to render candidate privacy pages, extract both mailto links and inline addresses, rank candidates, and emit per-site JSON or plain email lists. Responsible-scraping defaults (robots.txt, request delay, resource blocking) are practical touches you don't always see in hobby scrapers. It stops at discovery — no contact-form parsing or automated request delivery — and Playwright's install/runtime overhead makes large-scale runs heavier than a simple crawler.
