Markdown mirrors & AI profile

Every product and founder page has a Markdown twin, and every product carries a concise AI-ready profile block.

Markdown mirrors

Append .md to any product or founder URL and you get the same page as plain Markdown - no layout, no scripts, just the facts in reading order. These are ideal when a model needs to read one listing in full without the cost of parsing HTML.

PageMarkdown mirrorContent type
/products/{slug}/products/{slug}.mdtext/markdown
/founders/{username}/founders/{username}.mdtext/markdown

A product mirror contains: title and tagline; a facts list (website, founder, launch date, pricing, categories, use cases, ideal for, platforms, upvotes, rating when reviews exist); the full description; the AI-ready profile block; every link (website, GitHub, X, app stores, API docs, MCP server, CLI install, JSON record); and the founder-named alternatives. The HTML page links to it with <link rel=“alternate” type=“text/markdown”>.

The AI-ready profile

Every product carries a concise, fixed-shape summary designed to be read by a language model in one pass. It is derived from the same record as the page, so it is never maintained by hand and cannot drift. You will find it as ai_profile in JSON and MCP get_product responses, and as a fenced block in the Markdown mirror.

Fields that are empty are omitted, never invented.

If a founder did not tag audiences or use cases, those lines simply do not appear. The profile is a faithful compression of the listing, not generated marketing copy.
