Show HN: Live counts of AI assistants reading a diaspora business directory

A diaspora business directory called Nibiashara is publishing live counts of AI assistant traffic drawn from its own access logs, tracking named AI crawlers and assistants from OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, Meta, Apple, DuckDuckGo, You.com, ByteDance and Common Crawl families over a rolling 7-day window. A "read" is defined as one access-log row per AI visitor, per page or API answer, per day, with generic bots, SEO tools, search-engine crawlers, the site's own monitors and flagged requests excluded; counts refresh every two minutes and the page reloads itself every two minutes. The directory exposes listings through an open JSON API, llms.txt, an MCP server and an A2A agent card, and offers a script tag that puts a live AI-read counter for any listing on a third-party site.
