Bullshit-detector – quickly detect amount of bullshit in any text
Hi, I have been reading marketing and business books recently and found plenty of them are filled with meaningless corporate jargon. These books could often be 1/3 of the original length and much more straightforward. I wrote a tiny library to calculate the amount of meaningless jargon in any text for myself, and open-sourced it later because someone may need this.

In plain words
Bullshit-detector is a library that identifies and measures meaningless corporate jargon and vague language in text. It helps readers and writers spot unnecessary complexity in business and marketing content. The tool was created to address the problem of bloated corporate writing that could often be condensed significantly while maintaining clarity. It is for anyone who reads or writes business material and wants to assess how much of the text relies on hollow language rather than substantive communication.

Hey there HN! We’re Joe and Stopa, and today we’re open sourcing InstantDB, a client-side database that makes it easy to build real-time and collaborative apps like Notion and Figma. Building modern apps these days involves a lot of schleps. For a basic CRUD app you need to spin up servers, wire up endpoints, integrate auth, add permissions, and then marshal data from the backend to the frontend and back again.
