Copus
Hey HN! We’re a small team of artists, developers, and coffee lovers who’ve watched a lot of websites we love shut down over the years. We’ve been looking for a way to support them with income and exposure. We see that more people are interacting with the web through AI instead of visiting sites directly, so the ad-based model is breaking. The open web needs a new business model. Our take is to incentivize people (and, in the future, AI agents) to find and share valuable content (links), with both the finder and the original creator rewarded. Along the way we were inspired by discussions…

What it does
Every like, bookmark, and share is a taste signal. Until now, only algorithms and ad networks profited from yours. Copus turns your taste into an asset you own. Save as you browse, and every curation grows a structured taste profile. Subscribe to people whose taste you trust. Share your profile with ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Deepseek, or Mistral for answers that actually understand you. Monetize when people or AI access your curation. Open source, fully exportable, and becoming decentralized.
Copus is an open-web curation network that rewards tastemakers for sharing valuable web content. A sustainable alternative to ads-based monetization.
A platform where humans curate and share valuable web content. Below are recent human-curated recommendations. See all articles or browse by topic .

Browser BuddyDec 2025 · browserbuddy.com · ▲156Hey HN, thank you for being a part of the internet we love. We’re Arnav, Mo, Jeremy and we’re building an “Internet for-you page” that recommends blogs and essays based on your interests. Try it here (https://www.browserbuddy.com/)! We love to discover and learn from personal blogs, essays, and articles on the internet. But despite exciting advancements in language modeling, it’s felt harder to discover interesting links from real people. We believe there is untapped potential to use these language models as “curators” rather than “creators”. To explore this, we’re building a…
