barrunto

Experimental Chrome extension that asks Jev closed questions about X posts, X profiles and HN comments and labels them only when clear.

Overview

Barrunto (Spanish for a hunch) is a Chrome extension that reads what you browse, asks Jev a handful of closed questions about each item and hangs a label on it when the answer is clear, staying quiet when unsure. It presents labels as a model's opinion, not a verdict on the writer.

Three rule packs ship: X Posts labels Bait (made to farm reactions), Flame (picking a fight) or Signal (worth your time); Jetective Jev builds a case file on an X profile (Automated, Scam, Billboard, Farm, Maker, Pro or Regular) with evidence; and Hacker News labels comments as Insight, Snark or Tangent. Each post or comment gets nine yes/no questions. Packs start off, sensitivity is adjustable, and with X Posts on it can also check your own draft before you post. It is explicitly an experiment, not in the Chrome Web Store, and it gets things wrong.
