Ask HN: Is OpenAI's Operator a Bust?
At launch it felt like the agent product everyone had been describing for the preceding year. Now - I never really hear about it. In personal use I never got or it's kin to accomplish any real work and often ran into captcha/cloudflare blocks.
I've had much more success with Deep Research. Does Operator or any its peer products have any traction? Is this a problem better models will solve or is the root problem that sites don't want to be operated on?

Show HN: A free, privacy preserving, archive of public Discord servers
Hey HN!
I have been working on this project for a while, and I think this solves a problem that a lot of people here have: not being able to easily search Discord servers.
Currently, I only scrape servers that are marked as "discoverable" on Discord. However, if there's enough interest in the project, I'm open to adding specific servers by request. I'm primarily focused on informational servers rather than casual hangout spaces, such as open source projects, Minecraft mods, and support communities for tools, services, or platforms (for example, hosting providers).
I have placed restrictions on searching directly by user ID to prevent doxing. I also made the opt out process one click, for those who do not want to be archived.
This is my first large scale project, so I'd love to hear your feedback!

Show HN: Paste Keyboard – Insert saved text with one tap
Hi HN,
We just launched Paste Keyboard — an iOS keyboard app that lets you customize and insert your own text snippets, templates, and phrases with a single tap.
Why we built it: As indie developers, we often found ourselves typing the same phrases repeatedly — whether it’s email templates, code snippets, or support replies. Paste Keyboard solves that by letting you build your own personal keyboard for anything you frequently type.
Key Features: • Fully customizable keyboard (insert any text or symbol) • Organize snippets into groups • Works system-wide (in any app) • Offline-only: no data collection, no cloud sync • One-time purchase, no ads or subscriptions
Price: Normally $19.99 HN Launch Giveaway: We’re giving away free promo codes for the HN community. Feel free to try it out and let us know what you think!
Promo Codes (please reply which one you used so others know): AYKLLFW9KKWP 6JHN669FMX7A RH6KYP3T7ET4 6LL4PARPJXJX EXJXJHRR3ANX
If you find it useful, we’d greatly appreciate any feedback, ideas, or a quick App Store review.
