Comment on Show HN: I built an SDK that scrambles HTML so scrapers get garbageparent

Copy-paste breaking is intentional for protected content but it's opt-in per component, not whole-site.

On the AI docs concern, fair point. To answer directly: I've confirmed the obfuscation defeats any scraper reading raw HTML via HTTP requests. Whether GPTBot or ClaudeBot use headless browsers internally, I honestly don't know. The README threat model lists headless browsers under "what it does NOT stop" for that reason.
