Find recent public posts where people ask for a tool, an alternative, or help with a job, so you can decide whether an honest, disclosed reply would help them. Remote server covers Stack Exchange (incl. softwarerecs) and Bluesky; for Hacker News + GitHub run the local MCP: npx -y https://askhound.haullabs.dev/askhound.tgz mcp. Returns url, title, snippet, date, source and required attribution. Never auto-post replies.
