Hey, hackers!

After failing to effectively order groceries at a local store with my Hermes assistant, I got an idea of making an all-inclusive interface to access online services.

It's a sidecar to an online service backend, a bit more compared to "just exposing the API".

Out of the box: discovery, registration, memory-hard proof-of-work to repell scrapers, payments, server-sent events, prototype KYC integration.

I've built a few demos that you can try. Links and prompts to use are on the landing page.

The reference implementation is in Ruby on Rails, something I know well. But there's nothing preventing from implementing the same for another platform.

Honest disclosure: it is initially vibe-coded, but I've manually reviewed almost every part of it.

Eager to know what you think about.
