stringme.dev

Update (4/21/25): stringme.dev now redirects to llmstxt.new (more here).

Here's something new from us: stringme.dev.

This service takes a URL and generates a text string. Sounds simple. Why does it matter?

I got the idea from an Andrej Karpathy tweet :

It's 2025 and most content is still written for humans instead of LLMs. 99.9% of attention is about to be LLM attention, not human attention.

E.g. 99% of libraries still have docs that basically render to some pretty .html static pages assuming a human will click through them. In 2025 the docs should be a single your_project.md text file that is intended to go into the context window of an LLM.

Repeat for everything.

Relatedly, there's been a proposal for llms.txt, where similar to robots.txt, every website would make its contents available to LLMs in the form of a simple text file.

These ideas got me thinking about the developer need for simple text, an idea that I'd mentally labeled "textmaxing."

I think this is related to the recent hype around Model Context Protocols (MCPs), which I may address in a future post.

But recently I'd seen concrete examples of simple txt files showing value, such as uithub.com (generates txt files of public Github repos).

So I figured I'd try to vibe code something with Cursor, using a domain I'd previously registered based on the enthusiasm for this general concept.

The result is stringme.dev.

Check it out and let me know if you have any feedback (contact).

I'll do a full post on how I made this later this week.
