I'll be honest, I'm disappointed. We talked before you built this, and you said you'd direct traffic to satring rather than compete directly. Instead you launched a directory that replicates my core feature set, pretty much verbatim, scrapes my curated listings, and doesn't even link back to satring.com.
Two requests:
Add a backlink. You list "Satring" by name all over your site as a data source but don't have a single backlink to it. If you're going to scrape our data, at least give proper attribution with a link.
Fix the description. Your about page calls satring "a small directory of L402 (Lightning) paywalled services." We index x402 services and will be adding MPP as well, we're the only open source directory with human ratings, per-service health analytics, and editorial curation. Something like "an open source curated L402/x402 API directory with ratings and health monitoring" would be accurate.
I want this space to grow and I'm glad more people are building discovery infrastructure. But scraping someone's work without a backlink, after telling them you wouldn't compete directly, isn't the right way to do it.
Hey @puhbuhruh , I run satring.com, which your site lists as a data source.
